I got to meet Michael Oher (of Blind Side fame) at a marketing conference in Nashville last week. Amazing story – Mike spoke with us about what it has taken to overcome a childhood of extreme poverty and neglect and go on to become a Super Bowl winning football star. He said it comes down to daily practice and performance – you MUST get the fundamentals down every day, because it’s “the little things” that get you ahead in the game – and in life. When things get stressful – go to the gym. And when you experience success – give something back. Mike has a new book available, aimed at helping children in poor circumstances (and the adults who desire to help them) to understand how it is possible to change your circumstances and live a happy life. Proceeds from the book go to support St. Jude’s Children’s Hospitals.
