INSPIRING CHANGE

This past weekend, I finished reading the book, "Make Your Bed, Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe The World." I was inspired to read the book because many years ago, I came across the commencement speech below given by Admiral William H. McRaven. Admiral McRaven is the author of the book and expounds on the lessons he shared that day when giving the commencement speech. As a coach-educator, I am always thirsting for good material to read, view, and learn from; his words that day were truly inspiring and impactful. Though the lessons he shared were learned from his time during Navy Seal training, these lessons are relative to everyday life. Similar to sports, players learn skills taught and concepts elaborated on by their coaches that are applicable to daily life. Though the military and sports arenas are vastly different, they both possess the power of impact and influence.
