Most of us have experienced defeat. This occurs when your expectations don’t match reality. Sometimes our best intentions and effort aren’t good enough. It’s here that we can find ourselves with a choice to make. Do we languish in defeat as a victim or judge or rise up to meet our next challenge as a champion?
In this episode of The Jim Fannin Show, we dissect how one man’s passion for success was derailed at no fault of his own. Within a short amount of time, he rises to a new level of success despite the negative thoughts and words from many naysayers, critics and non-believers.
Teddy Keaton was a head football coach that lost his previous team due to college budget cuts. Allen University was a college that wanted a winning football program despite an absence of football of 13 years. And they wanted this accomplished in less than one year. On paper, it sounds simple enough. In reality, building a football program from scratch is a series of large obstacles to overcome. During this interview, we look at how Coach Keaton moved from nothing more than a vision with no locker room, equipment, practice field, stadium or team to a season opening victory over Columbus State 47-3. This win was accomplished with 80 freshman, student athletes! Wow!
