A Word from our Founder
I have learned so much about leadership from the books and speeches of Pat Williams, author and senior vice-president of the NBA Orlando Magic. In his book, Coaching Your Kids To Be Leaders, he shares how he learned the seven keys of leadership through participating in athletics. Not only could I relate, but I could have written the same story. Just like Pat, it was sports that taught me the power of a dream, the importance of communication, and the value of people skills. Through sports, I learned the qualities of character which included work ethic, humility, integrity, duty, honor, boldness, the excellence of competency, and the attitude of servanthood. Athletics was my training ground for leadership, and I believe it remains as one of the last bastions of hope for developing future leaders in this great nation.
My ultimate goal for these young leaders-in-training is to help them develop an uncompromising commitment to truth, to help them achieve their highest dreams, to produce positive change in their lives, and through these student-athletes, to make our world a better place.
