  Speaker 1: I was going to actually name this book instead of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: turns out they were right all along.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I was going to name it two pairs of socks.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And the reason I was going to do that was
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: because one of the most inspirational things that ever happened
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to me was this John Wooden basketball camp that I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: went to.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: When I was in high school.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was young and I went
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to a very small high school in Northern California, a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: ski town, and they wanted you to play three sports.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And I'd always played baseball and football, never played basketball.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I was terrible at basketball. But I thought if I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: could just go to that John Wooden camp in Southern California,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I would be the greatest basketball player. But at the time,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it was 500 bucks. You know, and back in the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: late 70s, that was real money. And my dad said, listen,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you get 250. You work and get it all. Taylor 250.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: We'll put it together. 500 bucks off you go. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we did.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I worked at bus tables. I made beds, so on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and so forth. And we get the money. And I'm
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: down at the John Wooden basketball camp. And I'm not
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the gym.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: With about 200 other kids, more than two minutes. And
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: in walks the Wizard of Westwood.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And remember, this is a time where he had just
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: won 10 NCAA championships in 12 years.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's never going to be repeated. John Wooden
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: walks in the gym and he
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Goes up to the microphone and he taps it three
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: times and he says, boys, welcome to the camp.
