- The base of the triangle displays the importance of connecting on a personal level and building quality relationships with the athletes.
- The second tier is dedicated to intrapersonal, or knowledge of self, and continued growth and awareness.
- The third tier, known as the heart of the PoTSS, is the core of teaching and coaching. This is focused around knowledge of teaching: pedagogical knowledge, subject knowledge, and condition.
- The fourth tier is concerned with necessary skills to stay the course: courage and commitment
- The apex is the word 'teacher'. The best coaches think of themselves as teachers and live by the John Wooden mantra, "You haven't taught until they have learned".
The PoTSS was created by the experts at www.belikecoach.com, and is featured in the text Coaching Better Every Season: A Year-Round System for Athlete Development and Program Success, by Dr. Wade Gilbert (2017). A fun and interactive version of the Pyramid of Success can be found at http://www.coachwooden.com/pyramid-of-success
