What a challenging school year it has been. So many changes, so many distractions, so many obstacles. Students, teachers, coaches, administrators, support staff, (not to mention parents!) - they're all worn out. And that's why I'm excited about helping them finish the year strong! I'm delivering an encouraging VIRTUAL message for elementary, middle, and high schools students, empowering them to focus on what they can control to make the most of this moment and close the semester on a positive note. Fill out the Finish Strong Virtual Request Form below to get your school on the calendar for the spring virtual tour!

This talk is a really big deal to me because I know many young people are having a really tough time right now. And as a former public educator, I feel for the parents, teachers, coaches, and administrators who have been fighting to help students stay in the game to continue going and growing.
