A national icon not only the world of sports but also in the world of business and humanity, Coach Wooden has even been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame as both player and coach and ESPN named him the Coach of the Century. In his 41 years of coaching, John Wooden and the UCLA Bruins won 10 NCAA championships in 12 years, recorded 88 consecutive victories, had 38 straight playoff wins and had four perfect seasons.
Now at the age of 95, Coach John R. Wooden is a noted author and speaker. Ever involved in matters that benefit others, annually he lends his good name and makes a personal appearance at the John R. Wooden Classic Benefit Dinner for the Southern California Special Olympics and also this year to benefit the Orangewood Children's Foundation. Again SecondFocus was honored to photograph this event for the Special Olympics of Southern California.
