Coach Woodens Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks for a Better Life

Product Information

This metaphor structure says that success is “…”. You can put whatever place you would envisage your successful vision of yourself right after that. So you might see yourself on a beach in Mexico, or on a chairlift on a Wednesday (because you don’t have to work anymore!) or even with a happy family, if that’s what your vision of a successful life really looks like. 2. Success is a Poison Chalice Comically Missing the Point: It takes Higgins four tries to get it right in advising Keeley about the possibility of taking a new job.

Manly Tears: Nate cries when Ted finally confronts him about how upset he is. Yeah, Nate's an asshole, but he's in real pain. So if you are unaware, commenters pointed out early in the season that the Championship’s promotion scheme puts the top two teams through automatically but then includes a playoff for the final spot. And so technically, per the claims made by the commentators, Richmond earned the second-place position and thus promotion, but this was technically not a do-or-die game despite it being presented as one, provided that the rules around the Championship are the same in this universe (which next season will have Premier League licensing, per a recent deal). Five-Second Foreshadowing: If it wasn't obvious enough that Nate got the West Ham job, then seeing Rupert whisper into his ear like he did in "No Weddings and a Funeral" should tip you off. Emmy award winning actor Beau Bridges, who played ball for Wooden at UCLA, is one of dozens of people interviewed for this documentary and upcoming e-learning course. In this interview, Bridges shares the impact that Coach had on him. He also lashes out at Ted for not displaying the photo he gave him in his office. Ted has it next to his bed at home, clearly valuing it and his relationship with Nate far more than the latter realizes.He says that Ted wouldn't have won a single match without any of Nate's ideas. Ted actually won his first match with his own ideas — he took Jamie off, and had the team implement the 'extra passes' tactic he'd had them practice. It was also made clear earlier this season that even with Nate as a full-time assistant coach, Richmond was struggling to win matches in the Championship until Roy came on. No person is an island. Working with others from a place of generosity — sharing wisdom, sharing ideas, sharing inspiration. Enthusiasm I also really like where they went with Ted, ultimately: Some of what Nate said to him is entirely true. As I've said a couple times this season, Ted is not qualified to coach football, and Nate is right that without his assistant coaches, he would be useless. It makes perfectly sense that a guy who had to work his way up from equipment manager would be incredibly frustrated by Ted. A little less sense given that Ted is the one who made him a coach, but still: Nate being frosted isn't hard to sympathize with. Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure but learn from it. Intentness:

Poise — Poise means holding fast to your principles and beliefs and acting in accordance with them regardless of how bad (or good) the situation may be. Know who you are and be true to yourself in spite of the chaos around you.Before the big game, Roy doesn't exactly ask the Diamond Dogs for advice, but he does share his feelings, which are that Keeley looked awesome in the pictures all by herself, and it kind of made him feel unnecessary. And because he also mentions that he was baffled by his own reactions to Jamie confessing his love to Keeley, Nate interrupts to confess that he tried to kiss her. Roy is not bothered by this, which Nate seems to take personally — instead of taking it as maybe a very different situation, given that he grabbed her without her consent and is not her ex-boyfriend, while Jamie is her ex-boyfriend who shared his feelings with her in a way that was obviously pretty well thought-out.

What are your gifts? What can you learn to improve? Skill is the process of mastering different abilities, and knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are. Team spiritAfter college, he taught English at the high school level while playing some professional basketball. This was way before the giant NBA contracts that you hear of today (as a matter of fact, the NBA did not form until 1946.) In this article, we’ll break down Coach John Wooden’s pyramid of success in detail, before showing you exactly how you can apply its wisdom to your life. Who is John Wooden?
