John Wooden won ten national championships, seven of them in a row, and eighty-eight consecutive games. He also never talked about winning. In this episode I go through "Wooden on Leadership" and pull out the lessons that made him the greatest coach in the history of the sport. What success actually meant to him, why he refused to let his teams look at the scoreboard, the obsessive attention to detail that shaped every practice, and the standard he held himself to long after the titles stopped mattering. Wooden never called himself a coach. He called himself a teacher. By the end of this you'll understand why that distinction was the whole thing.
