“…a very serious message but delivered in such a self-abasing tone you touched the heart of a very mature audience. I have not seen that group rise on their feet often, but when they do it is spontaneous and genuine...250 highly successful business men and women...”

“It did not surprise me that immediately following the meeting, I was being congratulated for picking "the best speaker we have had in a long time". What did surprise me was that weeks later, I was still receiving similar comments.

“… I think you were great. And the kids were hooked every minute. I will contact my friends that are coaching to hear your message and book you for events.”
High School Wrestling Coach regarding Awards Banquet presentation, Virginia

“I'm one of the coaches of the younger L……s team at T…..P. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with my wrestlers last night. I know you were there to coach and motivate the other team, but I can't tell you how much it meant to my boys that you took the time to talk to them and to actually allow them to touch your Olympic medal and rings. Many of the parents stopped me to thank me for that opportunity, which I had nothing to do with, so I wanted to pass on their appreciation to you.

I relayed this story to coach Tom as well, but just by chance my younger son was also in attendance last night. He does not wrestle, opting for gymnastics instead. Yesterday was his final practice before a large gymnastics meet in Pennsylvania. This is his first regional championship meet, something that he's been focusing on for three years of his young life. Hearing from an Olympic champion and actually getting to touch an Olympic medal was a huge impact for both him and my older son who does wrestle on the team. They both talked about the experience right up until bedtime last night. I personally couldn't be happier that they had this experience right before the big gymnastics meet and starting the final month of wrestling tournaments for the season. I hope that they can carry your lesson with them for a long time to come.

Thanks again for sharing your time and insight with my guys last night.”
Parent/Coach, Northern Virginia
