A Heart-Gripping Story of Championship Resilience in Life's Toughest Battles

"Read it in 5 hours and was moved to tears!"

The Pyramid Principle is based on the true and never before told story of Hall-of-Famer John Vallely. Filled with miraculous triumphs and hellacious heartbreaks, The Pyramid Principle masterfully depicts the impact of UCLA Coach John Wooden and his legendary "Pyramid of Success" he invested into all his players during his 29 year coaching career at UCLA. During Vallely's daughter's death from cancer and his own battle with cancer, Vallely would discover Coach Wooden's true meaning of success.

A Coach's Legacy of Heroic Love

"An extremely moving piece that brought me to tears more than once," remarks Tim Dekay, actor in 'White Collar' and 'Oppenheimer.' "It's very tight, has great transitions, and will put the reader on an emotional path."

"A beautifully written story," remarks Gregory Craig, Chairman of the Price Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Anderson at UCLA. "I reflected and took away valuable life lessons. It celebrates an era of coaching and teaching that has left us but still has great value. These timeless lessons and challenges remind us that life is fleeting and must be treasured."
