Have a Plan to Win Today

Coach John Wooden's UCLA Bruins won ten NCAA Men's basketball championships, including nine in ten years.

It wasn't overnight success. He won his first in his 16th season at UCLA. He is in the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and a coach. 

Wooden earned a Bachelor's Degree in English from Purdue in 1928. He was a teacher, coach, and philosopher. His father Joshua had a profound influence on him including some of his sayings.

- "Make every day your masterpiece" was his father's adage. 

- Put yesterday in the rearview mirror, win or lose.

- "Win today" is the message. 

Lagniappe. Turn possible into excellence.
