Today starts a new 30-Day Coach4day Challenge. For September the challenge is to identify a LITERARY LESSON a book, article, or newspaper story taught you.

Appreciate Jeff Neelon for generating the idea for this challenge. His idea along with following a great blog called “Bullet Point Reading” by Duke Dahl really got me excited to share what lessons written words have taught me. His blog is a great one to follow

To be honest I am looking forward to hearing the impact different books have had on others.

Rules for 30 Day Literary Lesson Challenge

  1. Identify a book and author that has taught or reinforced a life lesson to you.
  2. Very briefly in no more than 4 sentences described that lesson
  3. Share it with someone. That can be done in person or via social media. Just link it back to this post or use #Coach4adayChallenge in your share.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
