"I watched and listened to Dave give an inspirational and motivating speech in front of approximately 400 staff and volunteers at Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove.
Thank you for connecting such a heart felt story about perseverance and believing in one’s self. I, along with so many others were truly inspired by you gift of personal perseverance and hope.
I watched the faces in the crowd today as you spoke. I saw people nodding as you spoke from your heart and inspired them with your humble journey from challenged young man to superstar professional athlete.
Thank you so much for sharing the man you are today because of the challenges you overcame as a young man...struggling with “not being good enough” in a sport where your coach saw your potential, but you didn’t. The message of hope and perseverance that made your journey so relatable rang true for so many.
Thanks for taking the time out of your well established world to touch those today who are navigating the beginning of theirs.
You are an awesome human being and outstanding public speaker.
And thank you for sharing the gift of your coach and guide in your early life. You made it clear he was the hallmark of your leadership foundation.
May you continue to share your gifts and always journey safe."
Best wishes,
