DALLAS, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- John Wooden was not only the greatest coach of all time, but also a mentor to countless people. The UCLA legend won a record 10 NCAA men's basketball championships, but always maintained that success in life wasn't about winning games, but rather being the best possible version of oneself. He believed living with love, compassion, poise and integrity made someone truly successful. In the SUCCESS Magazine December cover story, contributing editor Don Yaeger, who co-authored A Game Plan for Life: The Power of Mentoring with John Wooden, explores the impact Coach Wooden had on the world.

"Although Wooden's last on-court victory was secured more than 40 years ago and he passed away in 2010, his lessons are as relevant today as ever. Coach, as he was simply known to all, believed that real success is defined not by wins and losses, but by the daily development of yourself and giving your best in all you do."

—Contributing Editor Don Yaeger writes in SUCCESS, December 2016 issue
