"The Star of the Team is the Team" – John Wooden

"Its amazing how much can be accomplished if no one is concerned with who gets the credit" - John Wooden

Is building a better team, a stronger team, a team known for its character, integrity, and consistent extraordinary performance; a high priority for your organization?

Are you in need of a unique, powerful fresh idea to get your team focused, prepared and inspired to be the best team they are capable of becoming?

Could your team benefit from the knowledge, wisdom, and example of America's greatest coach and teacher: UCLA legend and Icon, coach John R. Wooden?

Could your leadership team be more effective if they had a more powerful, teachable point of view on core fundamentals like "team", "team work" and "team spirit"?

Would you like to enjoy the consistent success that only comes when the whole organization is exhibiting true success behavior – behavior that is defined on John Wooden's Pyramid of Success, behavior that produced America's greatest sports dynasty, and a lifetime of Achievement for Coach Wooden and his players and followers?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then consider the unique experience that is the John R. Wooden Team Camp:

  • A high energy, fast moving, informational, potentially life changing experience
  • A one-two day performance development event combining highly engaging classroom learning with experiential, application exercises on the basketball court
  • A simulated Wooden team practice session that can be tailored to your team performance improvement priorities
  • Works wonderfully well for all types of organizations, sales teams, management teams, operational groups, all ages, and levels of physical fitness or athletic capability

5 Company Presidents Experience the Wooden Camp

In January 2011, we went to LA together to experience the John Wooden Leadership Program. All day, we moved from an hour in a court side class room to an hour on the court as we learned and experienced John Wooden' s legacy. John had just passed away 7 months before and the love that the coaches, Lynn and Craig, had for John was present with us. This is a life experience that continues to inspire and one that I'm very grateful for.



Feedback from Team Camp Participants

"Best experience I've had in any type of business development seminar in last 20 years. It focuses on the things that are truly important to build a better team, a stronger team, a team with integrity and character"

"I think about the balance we all need in our lives with our passion for our job and what we do and how we do it, and how we can apply these principles we learned today and put them into use in our personal life as well as our work life. That is just great."

"Now knowing more about John Wooden, you can live a life all the way to the very, very end and stay true to the right principles the whole time, I think that is amazing. It is something to strive for as a father and as an employee of a company."

"Loved it, there were no fads here. The whole thing is based on 99 years of a life well lived."

"Truly this was a wealth of knowledge, insight and wisdom for building your team, your business and your life."

"My best learning come from great men and women. It was a pleasure to invest my time with such good people and passionate teachers. Keep up the great work and spread the wisdom coach has left for us, We will all be better off."

"Great way to develop leadership philosophy especially for young managers"

"While it was for business, it is really about life and I enjoyed that."

"It was an incredible day with a fast pace. Coach Wooden and his teachings motivated me to revisit who I am."

"I liked the set-up.It is too hard to sit in a classroom and the basketball portion was great reinforcement of the classroom concepts."

"The pre –reading was timely and very helpful. I got a lot out of it. The materials are great and can be used always."

"Thank you for sharing Coach Wooden's important message in a really well laid out curriculum, and I liked getting busy every hour."

"Yes I would definitely recommend The Wooden Team Camp. It is a foundation for every employee in my plant. I am passionate about sharing, teaching and living the message"

A great reminder that Values and Profit can go hand in hand. In these tough times, it was important to look back at a simpler approach to building a team through simple concepts, such as the 7 Point Creed and Two Sets of Threes. Those principles along with the Pyramid of Success provide guidance in developing successful teams. The camp brought all this to life, and through reliving Coach's experiences in the classroom and on the court, we were able to process the principles. It gave me the opportunity to rethink my approach to leadership and my role in the Company. In a broader sense, it forced me to rethink my approach to life. This was a gift I have shared with co-workers, friends and my family and we are all richer for it. Rue Patel - Plant Manager & Community Representative - General Mills at Cedar Rapids
