What more, you ask!!!
For Athletes
As a normal, everyday, mediocre student athlete, Kirk knew nothing of sports success beyond just competing for his high school team. His first three years of high school athletics were, shall we say, uneventful, to say the least. However, a dramatic change took place near the end of his junior year, something that altered his life forever. It is this true story, along with others, that Kirk brings to life for his audience, shattering any doubt that they themselves are capable of similar feats of success. A tale of “no you can’t,” “yes I can;” no one leaves his presentation without knowing they are capable of more!!!
Attendee Comment: “…a story of true rarity, he focuses on success as a product of pure inner will and determination giving a real life perspective to any high school athlete.”
For Parents
Kirk’s story of overcoming adversity demonstrates for parents the type of internal ingredients necessary for success in the athletic arena, along with their relationship to success in life as a whole. Inspiring personal thought simply through the presentation itself, parents question what their role is for lending help and guidance to their young athletic offspring. The importance of support and encouragement are only a small part of the story that parents take away from the personal attention Kirk gives to attendees through the conversation and themes he presents.
Attendee Comment: “Kirk’s use of inspirational videos about real athletes overcoming major challenges sets this presentation apart from all other motivational speeches.”
For Coaches
Coaches especially relate to the stories of insurmountable odds Kirk tells, the concepts he presents, and the connections Kirk draws to the inspirational films he uses to support his points. Things all coaches are trying to instill in their athletes. Goal setting, training principles, and thought processes demonstrated through Kirk’s presentation motivates self-reflection and out-of-the-box thinking for coaches, helping them develop new creative ways to inspire the athletes under their direction.
