Greatness

Greatness Is All Around Us. The only thing better than sharing one inspiring story is sharing several, which is why I’m so passionate about my newest book — GREATNESS. It was truly an amazing experience bringing all of these stories together in one place to help others grow. But what most don’t know is that this book project started because of this monthly Greatness newsletter, when publisher Harry...

“Do Unto Others.” They know character is defined by how they treat those who cannot help them. If you’ve been following my work for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard me talking about Team Hoyt, the incredible father-son marathon team who have competed in marathons and triathalons and challenged notions of what life with cerebral palsy looks like. Recently, I learned of a new chapter...

“When All Else Fails…” The truly Great know how — and when — to adjust their game plan. So this is why you should never ask me for sports betting tips — and why I’m not making a living in Las Vegas! A couple of months ago as I was planning this month’s Greatness newsletter, I wanted it to coincide with last night’s opening game of the World Series. And I was SURE...

Shane Morrell

“Records Are Made to Be Broken” They know their legacy isn’t what they did on the field. They are well-rounded. This February, Shane Morrell will walk on a field to play college lacrosse in his first game at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. When he gets the chance to face a collegiate opponent, it will be memorable…but not nearly as memorable as what he witnessed 10 years ago.

“Ultimate Teammate…” They will assume whatever role is necessary for the team to win. Two weeks ago, I visited Chicago to do a series of speeches for Microsoft at a sales meeting. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, so at week’s end my family flew in to join me so we could enjoy for a little vacation. There was nothing I was looking forward to more than taking my two children on their first...

“Hope for the Best, But…”   The truly Great prepare for all the possibilities before they step on the field. This weekend, Sam “Bam” Cunningham was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In honor of that well-deserved honor and his Great career, we want to share a Moment of Greatness that helped define both Sam’s career and change college football. On the evening...

Shane Battier

Ultimate Teammate They will assume whatever role is necessary to win… Tomorrow night, the Memphis Grizzlies have a chance to become only the second team in NBA history to upset the top-seed in a seven-game first-round playoff series. That incredible journey began two weeks ago when Memphis forward Shane Battier hit a game-winning shot to give the franchise its first ever win in a playoff game. After that first...

Bethany Hamilton

Lessons in Greatness It was a warm morning, perfect for the beach, when 13-year-old surfing champion Bethany Hamilton paddled out on her board to catch some waves with her friends. Already one of the most talked-about young surfers in Hawaii, Bethany had a score of championships to her name and was well on her way to living her dream of becoming a professional. But something happened in the water on the morning of...

Contagious Enthusiasm They are positive thinkers, they are enthusiastic and that enthusiasm rubs off! We are coming off of my favorite sports weekend of the entire year: March Madness! Honestly, who out there had VCU and Richmond in the Sweet Sixteen? But with all the talk of Bracket Busters and Cinderella teams, nothing that happened this weekend compares to my favorite springtime basketball story which occurred...
