Video: Saratoga Springs National Little League

Each year Little Leagues across the country have Opening Day Ceremonies. This year I was invited to speak at the Saratoga Springs National Little League’s ceremony. Speaking to players, parents, coaches and extended families, I was asked to share my Act With Respect Always mission.

I asked everyone to remember to be respectful to each other and that the main reason that children play sports is because it is fun.

Sharing my 99% Character I wanted everyone to know that we are not perfect, but we can strive to be kind to others and to strive to keep our personal ‘character score’ as high as possible every day.

“It was a great honor to have Coach Johns join us for our opening day ceremonies this year. The message of Act With Respect Always is so vital for our players, coaches and parents. Our banner is in full view, to act as a constant reminder for our entire community to Act With Respect Always, both on and off the field. It’s such an important message for all athletes, and all adults, both parents and coaches, who need to lead by example.

We will continue to pay it forward throughout our season and beyond!”
