John Wooden Week

Okay, I am to this day a huge basketball fan.  The greatest coach, John Wooden, died the other day.  Those who have not played team sports may not understand the effect such participation can have.  I was blessed to have a coach who pushed each individual, as well as the team.  I realized a few years after high school that a lot of what we heard came from the John Wooden way.  Our team was far better than the sum of the parts.  It was a life-defining and changing experience for me.  So, this week is John Wooden week at Walls and Gates.

In the video below, John Wooden quotes the poem, Little One Who Follows Me.  A lesson about being mindful of the children and younger generation who look to us as an example of how to live.
