The Josephson Institute has just posted an interview with Coach John Wooden.  Visit the Center for Sports Ethics  to see him discuss what it means to be a successful teacher-coach.

The Josephson Institute was proud to teach sportsmanship to the U.S. Olympic team. Now coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and officials can learn the same character-building skills.

   * Why are you coaching?
   * Are your core virtues as an educator the same as your virtues as a coach?
   * Are you producing leaders for tomorrow?
   * Are you having problems with your athletes' parents?
   * Are you supporting the mission of your school through your athletic program?

Learn to be an effective teacher-coach and see the difference you can make by attending the two-day character building in sports clinic, Pursuing Victory With Honor.
