Leading Coaches Toni Reece and Viki Winterton of the Coaches’ Concierge organized a telecall with the remarkable and inspiring Jim Stovall, who spoke about overcoming extreme adversity and gives insight to coaches from his place in the client’s seat.
If you don’t know who Jim is, here are just a few highlights:
- National Champion Olympic Weightlifter
- Author of Bestselling book, “The Ultimate Gift” (which is now a major motion picture)
- President of the Emmy Award-Winning Narrative Television Network
- Highly sought-after keynote speaker
- Entrepreneur of the Year
- International Humanitarian of the Year
- He made television accessible for our nation’s 13 million blind and visually impaired people
Jim says that “obstacles are an opportunity to learn a new way to do things” and he talks about making “the goal on the other side bigger than” the obstacle so that we don’t just seek to overcome the obstacle. “When the dream is big enough, the facts don’t matter anymore.”
Jim, more than most, understands the importance of vision, since he went blind at age 29 when he was a pro football player. He talks about vision as a precious commodity…more important than sight.
