Coach,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful presentation on Friday. After you left I was able to deal with a discipline situation structuring our whole conference with the student about his 99 and what he shows on the outside, his 1%. The analogy of the invisible backpack will really help us to teach empathy with our students, many of whom have backpacks, like all of us, jammed full and sometimes overflowing with life issues.

I just had a nice conversation with Zach Brown, 2nd from left in the photo. He was telling me about how impactful the message was, how much he could relate to you and what you were saying and how much he really enjoyed the presentation. Zach really is a leader among his peers, so to hear him speak so positively about the presentation really helped other students to buy into the message as well.

Again, thank you for sharing your time and message with our school and our students. We have received such positive feedback and are so thankful that you were able to join us.

Have a wonderful day.
