Leaving an Impact Beyond the Game
Listen now
Description
In this discussion, a panel will explore the impact and legacy through the lens of three individuals who achieved initial success through athletics, sports, or physical achievement. Did their achievement come with a sense of responsibility as role models, wealthy individuals, and influencers? How does their “inherited legacy” impact their performance, drive, and attitudes toward their own accomplishments? What impact are they leaving now, and how is it similar or different to what gave them their notoriety? What is their legacy worth? Speakers: David Breashears, Michelle Kwan, Jim Brown, Chris Heilmann
