**Inspiration from Coach Valvano
« on: December 08, 2010 - 07:18:41 AM »
I'm a sports nut and have heard Coach Valvano's speech, given weeks before his death, many times & always come away inspired. Based on the tone of some of the posts lately I think some of our members might benefit from hearing this.

I was thinking the same thing about our members and their concerns. I'm not a sports nut, and I thought this was great.

Good post.  Like you, I have listened to that speech by Jimmy V many times, and I never get tired of it.  Very inspirational words, from a great man.

I happen to be a college basketball fan, but even those who don't care about it could benefit from taking a few minutes to listen.  When you're down, and feel like giving up, these words will come back to you.   :cheers:
