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.
