Paul Weissenstein has been at the forefront of enabling the dreams of many athletes. As a performance coach at leading institutions including the University of Illinois with Hall of Fame Basketball Coach Bill Self, Northwestern University and nationally ranked Sierra Canyon High School, he assisted in the development of championship-caliber programs.
As an author, Paul’s debut book, The Pyramid Principle, peels back the curtain on legendary UCLA coach John Wooden and his lifelong mentorship of All-American John Vallely as he and his nine-year-old daughter confront the battles they face with death and life. Spanning five electrifying decades, the story reveals how Wooden’s timeless principles helped Vallely forge championship greatness on the court and resilience throughout his life. Named ESPN’s Greatest Coach of the 20th Century, John Wooden’s enduring legacy comes to life in this powerful true story. The Pyramid Principle is available on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Building on the book’s powerful story, Paul’s screenplay adaptation of the book is currently in development for a documentary and a major motion picture.
