To mourn the loss of John Wooden, because it would be an irreplaceable source of wisdom, look at the top of his incredible 99 years missing on this earth. Coach Wooden gift to understand that greatness is everywhere, it is up to individuals to find it in themselves and to understand it. This is not a single source.
