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."

"WOW! WOW! WOW! The story is a beautiful, rich, masterpiece. A powerful message, with lessons, villains, hero's, and quite an ending! I strongly recommend it."

"An extremely moving story that brought me to tears more than once. It is very tight, has great transitions, and although one can be aware of the story, it is unpredictable and sends the reader on an emotional path. It's a big hit.Congratulations!"

Star of TV's "White Collar"

- "moved and blown away"

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

-- "I just finished your book John and to say I was overwhelmed by the power of your words would be an understatement. And I guess I could relate so closely to it because I could see myself so vividly as you were caring for and I was caring for my wife and then I identified with your wife, Karen, as she was caring for you. But how you described so vividly what Erin went through and then your own journey gave me a whole new understanding of what my wife must have been going through. But what drove me to not stop reading was the power of faith throughout the book-in the beginning you didn't know it was faith playing a role but then as you became a person of faith you began to recognize it all as a part of His glorious plan and as a result you gave me a renewed sense of hope for my own life. I will forever be in your debt for many things but this book was a capstone.

And one last thing-if anyone ever doubts to me about the power, the glory and the existence of God I will tell them the story of "what kind of wine do you drink dad" and that will shut them up for sure. Love you man, (anonymous friend)
