"Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best
to achieve success today."
"Recuerde que no siempre va a ganar unos días, la persona más ingeniosa que derrotar a gusto, pero no es, en este caso, siempre mañana -... Después de haber hecho todo lo posible
para lograr el éxito de hoy."
~ Maxwell Maltz

Your Success Story This community outreach program consists of classroom visits by major and minor league baseball players where players share with students (pictured right) a purposeful story using the purposeful-storytelling framework described in Tell to Win by Peter Guber. Contained within these motivational stories are examples of the three success strategies used by former Negro League and MLB player Sam Hairston. The strategies are aligned to research on intrinsic motivation described by Daniel Pink in Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. Players also share one of their own success strategies during the visit. Afterwards, students compose their own success stories of how they will use one or more of the strategies. Click on the "Your Success Story" tab above to view a slideshow of classroom visits.
