W. Scripps Newspapers; and induction into The Jim Murray Memorial Foundation's Journalists Hall of Fame and Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame as a journalist.Woody's work has also appeared in The Best American Sports Writing anthology and more than a dozen Chicken Soup For The Soul titles, and he is the author of two nonfiction books-the memoir Wooden & Me: Life Lessons from My Two-Decade Friendship with the Legendary Coach and Humanitarian to Help "Make Each Day Your Masterpiece" and Strawberries in Wintertime: Essays on Life, Love, and Laughter.When he is not tapping away on a QWERTY keyboard, Woody can be found padding the pavement, park grass or local beaches as a "Streaker" who has run a minimum of three miles (and averaged 11.4 miles) every day without fail since July 7, 2003, for one of the longest officially recognized running streaks in the world."Woody's Holiday Ball Drive" has enjoyed an even longer streak while donating nearly one million dollars of new sports balls to underprivileged youth.Longer still, Woody has a marriage streak of forty-one years with his college sweetheart Lisa.vizualizați mai puține
