Absolutely the best video on the entire internet. This holds more meaning in it's 4:35 than anything I have ever seen before. Makes me want to be a better man.
One of the Greatest men to ever live, proud to say that he has inspired me and is my all time hero, If I could be half the man John Wooden is, then I'll be doing alright in this world
I have saved this piece on my dvr for years... Rick Reilly is right. John Wooden...makes me want to be a better man. Really, truly does. I feel like I fail so bad at being a husband, and a father to my nine year old son, and 6 year old daughter... I try my best...
Rest well Coach, your words inspired me. He provided the example and the challenge for anyone willing to attempt to be better, it is something I will work on, each day, for the rest of my life. Always teaching, to the very end, and for that, I say thank you.
Coach John Wooden has been a true inspiration to me in the teaching profession and the coaching profession. I have just about every book that he has written. Whether reading his book about basketball or life in general, Coach John Wooden puts everything in perspective on how you should live and enjoy life. If I could be just a fifth of what John Wooden, I believe I will have accomplished quite a bit. You are truly missed and thank you! R.I.P. Coach John Wooden.
Once I was afraid of dying by Sven Nader Once I was afraid of dying, terrified of ever-lying, petrified of leaving family, home and friends. Thoughts of absence from my dear ones, brought a melancholy tear once, and a dredful fear of when life ends. But those days are long behind me, fear of leaving does not bind me, and departure does not hold a single care. Peace does comfort as I ponder, a reunion in the yonder, with my dearest one who is waiting for me there.
posting this on my facebook wall for valentine's day. it's been one of my favorite videos on youtube since i first saw this live on espn and, as rick reilly says, in an age of sand castle loyalties and dissolvable love this is about as true a message as you can give on valentine's day
I bow down and worship God because He is the Author of Life. He gave me my life and in Christ I am offered eternal life and forgiveness of all of my sin.
+Tapiwa Ushe John Wooden himself is a Christian, and yes God loves you too. He is always willing to accept us when we come to his presence. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that He gave his only son,so that anyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.'

Once I was afraid of dying

Once I was afraid of dying,
terrified of ever-lying,

He seems so tired here. Sad to see a great man withered away by time. But now he’s in heaven with his dear Nelly!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL....

Man of character!

I got one of those knots in my throat. You know, the ones that make your eyes watery.
God Bless you Coach Wooden
What a man
Nearly made my cry!
If this doesn't make you cry, you have no soul.
John Wooden is home with Nellie tonight. Godspeed, Coach Wooden.
If you know Jesus .. you don't need to be afraid of dying
