History of Baseball Affecting Lives Today

 

Did you know that Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his baseball career? 

That's the most in the history of baseball!




WE DON'T REMEMBER the strike outs because Jackson never gave up, and he was always a valuable leader on the team.


WE DO REMEMBER, however, all the (563) homeruns as Denzel Washington describes in this talk to University of Pennsylvania grads. For 14 seasons, Jackson was named an American League All Star. He also achieved the Most Valuable Player Award after knocking out of the park 3 home runs to clinch his most recent World Series Win. Jackson even earned a Babe Ruth Award.

THE POINT: Some people give up. But others never will! And those who never give up will achieve Big Victories in life.

SO, NEVER GIVE UP! THE WINS ARE WORTH THE REWARDS :-)

Team Building Sports and Activities: Whitewater Rafting

Image
   Have you ever been Whitewater Rafting with a trusted team? Video fun: Or is there another daring, team-building exercise you’ve participated in? I’m curious as I reflect on fond memories of Whitewater Rafting down the Colorado River under the Royal Gorge with a remarkable Marketing team several years ago. It was exhilarating and a real reminder to me about the power of teamwork… Half-way through our adventure, we hit a massive wave and an extreme rush of water. Needless to say, I almost went overboard. If a team member hadn’t lunged forward and grabbed my foot, I would have been flung out of the raft. I remember this moment clearly as it made me keenly aware of the importance of sticking together-- even amid the rapids—with all eyes on board, guiding the team in the right direction…toward the goal. Here’s to you, your teams, and missions...for the WIN! hashtag # BrandMarketing hashtag # MarketingStrategy hashtag # SocialMedia hashtag # GodsPlan https://www.link...
