One day when I was in high school, I was walking down the sidewalk with my mother. 

Please click here to listen to the 2-minute audio version of this article from the Success is a Choice podcast network.

We needed to get to the other side of the street but since I was a punk teenager, I decided to cross sooner because figured I could make it before the next car went by.

Conference Champions

“The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.” (John C. Maxwell)
(editor’s note: Article originally written in March of 2022)

I had the pleasure of speaking with the boys basketball team at my old high school.

Please click here to listen to the 2-minute audio version of this article from the Success is a Choice podcast network.

I’m very proud of them and their coach Jeff Turner (he was my JV coach). In fact, they won the conference title this year. 

As I was talking to the guys, it hit me out of the blue that this was 2022 and my team won the championship in 1992.
