Craig Impelman answers this question and describes the influences and drive that Coach Wooden had to become the Hall of Fame coach he is.
As a player at Purdue University, Coach Wooden would keep a notebook with him and interview opposing coaches after games to find out how they coached. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail". Coach Wooden knew he wanted to coach and followed his own advice in his preparation to become one.
