At Value of Sport we are extremely fortunate to have the following individuals share with our students their personal experience with the Value they derived from Sport and how it helped shaped their life and successful person they’ve become.
Ryan Day
Head Football Coach
Ohio State University
“As far back as I can remember, sports have been my entire life. Sports teach you virtually every one of life’s lessons: Sacrifice, Work Ethic, Teamwork, Perseverance, Loyalty and how to handle Adversity, just to name a few. There is no replacing the experiences I have been fortunate enough to enjoy as a Player and a Coach. Sports have allowed me to travel the globe, provide for my family and build lifelong bonds with Teammates, Players and Coaches.”
Chip Kelly
Head Football Coach
UCLA
Sean McDonnell
Head Football Coach
University of New Hampshire
“The value of sports cannot be measured in my life. It has given me so much, I have lived and learned from so many people about the value of hard work, determination and the will to win. I learned a lot about myself and who I wanted to be. Without sports I don’t know where I would be or who I would be today. Sports has taught me a lot about commitment, persistence, integrity and compassion. I owe Sports a great debt. I have met most of my friends through sports and I have eaten, breathed and slept sports, and it is still a huge part of my life. For that I would like to say thank you so much, sports, for everything you have done for me.“
Stan Spiro
Former Head Basketball Coach
Southern New Hampshire University
“I am a big believer in the Value of Sport program and the impact it will have in our community. Having mentors during childhood and taking their advice and instruction, is critical to success. No one gets to the top without the help and support of others.”
