Wooden
In this national bestseller, John Wooden shares his personal philosophy on family, achievement, success, and excellence. Raised on a small farm in south-central Indiana, he offers lessons and wisdom learned throughout his career at UCLA and life as a dedicated husband, father, and teacher.

These lessons, along with personal letters from Bill Walton, Denny Crum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bob Costas, among others, have made Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and off the Court an inspirational classic.

The Wisdom of Wooden
John Wooden wrote his final book in the last months before his death. Filled with his most treasured memories and more than 100 photographs, many never before published, The Wisdom of Wooden: My Century On and Off the Court, captures a life spent serving others. Ultimately it was the life he lived that served as a model for his greatest lesson of all: a deep commitment to family, friends, and faith—the bedrock values of the man we all called, “Coach.”

“The Wisdom of Wooden has given me the life that I have . . . Thanks, Coach, for your faith and patience.”
—Bill Walton

“The Wisdom of Wooden is a lifetime of Coach Wooden’s ideas on how to live life without sacrificing your moral principles. His life is a prime example of how this can be done—one that we can all learn from.”
—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Jackie Robinson was one of the greatest baseball players of all time--MLB Rookie of the Year, World Series Champion, six-time all-star, MVP, and a lifetime batting average of .311. But he is most remembered for breaking racial barriers by becoming the first African American to play in the major leagues since the 1880s.

This book traces Robinsons life, both on the field and his personal life--from his childhood and career in the miltary to his days in the Negro leagues and with the Brooklyn Dodgers; it also covers briefly his life after baseball.

One of New York’s most notorious sports figures wasn’t an athlete but an owner, George Steinbrenner III, who micromanaged the Yankees to 11 American League pennants and seven World Series titles while hiring and firing management. During his 37 years as owner, “The Boss” became famous beyond the five boroughs for his stormy relationship with colorful managers (most notably Billy Martin), instating a military style grooming code (no beards allowed), inspiring a “Seinfeld” character, driving up players’ salaries to new heights, getting banned from baseball twice and building a new stadium for the Yankees. This e-single, comprised of articles curated from the New York Times archive, is a must read for any Yankees fan or student of baseball.
