Welcome... I'm so glad you're here! This Episode 31 (Part 1) is one that I think is going to hit close to home for you in so many ways.
My guest today is Jerry Snodgrass, former Executive Director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Jerry has spent nearly 50 years in the world of high school athletics. As a coach, an athletic director and as a mentor to countless young people along the way. He's a passionate and compassionate soul who has a gift for building relationships with people that last a lifetime.
I really wanted Jerry to delve deep into his own story and let it be okay to talk about himself. He delivered in true Jerry form. He shares his story and gives us a chance to get to know him a little better, while also sharing many valuable life lessons.
Jerry still stays very busy, even in retirement, yet was kind enough to accept my invitation to be a guest on my podcast. But for those of you who know Jerry, you're not surprised at all he said yes, because you know Jerry always says yes. We talk about adversity and failure along with growth and triumph. We also explore some thoughts and various aspects of what good leadership looks like. But more than any title or role that Jerry's held, what defines this guy is his belief that the best lessons in life come from "Turning Adversity Into Triumph".
I hope you enjoy Part One of my conversation with Jerry as much as I did. His passion and love for people literally is infectious.
In Part Two, Jerry talks more about his personal story and the life lessons he's learned along the way. That episode will be coming up very soon and you're going to love it... Thanks for listening!
