Our student-athletes were spellbound and you could hear a pin drop. His message was profound and his passion for life and the goal of making a difference was so on point to the crowd.

Your message has been echoing in my ears all day. Part of your fate, I believe, is to convey that all important message that any challenge, no matter how insurmountable it may seem, can be overcome with intense will and passionate conviction… that our attitude does ultimately influence our conclusions about the world.
