Student-Athlete Development programs include: Health Education Life Skills Workshops Team Building Career Exploration Leadership Seminars Resume & Interviewing Skills Wooden Academy: Teamwork, Leadership & Character Bruins in the Community Bruin student-athletes have the opportunity to participate in community outreach activities on campus and throughout the Los Angeles area.

The Wooden Academy is a leadership development program designed to educate and support Bruin student-athlete leaders. The program was named after legendary Coach John Wooden and strives to teach the principles of his Pyramid of Success. We believe that these skills will assist student-athletes in their pursuit to be successful leaders and teammates at UCLA, and as they prepare to be champions in life. Student-athletes have the opportunity to participate in the Wooden Academy each year by attending seminars to learn practical leadership lessons from coaches, administrators and Bruin alumni. Leadership Development Program (LDP): The LDP is designed to teach freshmen and transfers the skills they need to lead themselves and effectively work with others. Our goal is to create a strong network of future Bruin leaders. Wooden Academy Seminars: These seminars are offered to all student-athletes and address leadership, personal and professional development topics that are relevant to the student-athlete experience.
