The first Born Ready Project Youth Leadership Tour took place Dec. 2 at T.C. Williams H.S. in Alexandria, Virginia at its fall sports banquet. Born Ready Project founder Dave Ungrady spoke to some 200 athletes and their parents about the importance decision making for about 25 minutes before the athletes received their awards.
Here’s what William Campbell, a member of the Alexandria City School Board, said about the speech: “I wholeheartedly endorse the Born Ready Project, Despite our time constraints, Dave was able to present our group a truncated yet extremely powerful portion of the motivational message. We had two team coaches ask if we could have him back to do a longer presentation to their individual teams! We look forwarded to quickly having him back in the Alexandria community.”
The Youth Leadership Tour is supported by donations made to the Born Ready Project through its GoFundMe campaign. The next Youth Leadership Tour speech will take place early in 2015.
