his book, Coach Wooden. He breaks down
Coach Wooden’s seven-point creed that was given to him by his father when he
graduated from elementary school. Many attribute a large part of his
success to this creed and his ability to live it out daily.

quotes and passages from that 2nd chapter.
- You can read about the 1st creed, 'be true to yourself,' here.
One, make sure you always have better players than the team you
play. Two, make sure that your players

The Dirty Shoulders
Principle
In a figurative sense, all great people have dirty shoulders. People of true greatness are always lifting others up and letting them stand tall on their own shoulders. They don’t care who gets the credit. They don’t mind if their own shoulders get dirty. They just want to life other people up.

‘Find some dirty windows and wash them. Find a neighbor’s lawn and mow it. Clen up the mess, even if you didn’t make
it. Read to a child. Find some people to help, and serve them.’
