2) "Excellence is a Choice: How to Be Your Best and Elevate Others"

Excellence doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a choice we make every day. It’s not just about talent or luck; it’s about effort, discipline, and the mindset to keep pushing forward when things get tough. In this talk, students will learn how to apply The Gold Standard to their lives—whether in sports, school, or personal growth. We’ll break down what it takes to stand out, take responsibility for our actions, and inspire those around us. Because when we commit to being our best, we don’t just win for ourselves—we help others rise, too.

There was a moment in my career when I had to make a choice—stay comfortable in my role or embrace something unfamiliar for the good of my team. I had worked hard to master my position, but one day, my coach asked me to shift into a completely different role. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t what I wanted. And honestly, at first, I resisted. But then I made the decision to be coachable, to put my team above my own comfort, and to trust the process. What happened next? I grew in ways I never expected. I developed new skills, became a stronger leader, and ultimately helped my team achieve more than we ever thought possible. That moment taught me that excellence isn’t about staying where we’re comfortable—it’s about pushing ourselves to grow, even when it’s hard.

Key Takeaways:

✔ How small, daily choices shape long-term success

✔ The power of consistency, accountability, and resilience

✔ How to lead by example and positively impact teammates, classmates, and friends

✔ Why controlling the controllables is the key to staying focused and confident

✔ How to push past comfort zones and embrace challenges as opportunities

3) "Overcoming Failure & Fear: Be The Gold Standard”

Every great champion has faced failure and fear—but what sets them apart is how they respond. In this talk, we’ll break down how to push past self-doubt, learn from setbacks, and turn obstacles into opportunities. Through real-life stories and the principles of The Gold Standard, students will discover how to embrace challenges, take ownership of their growth, and keep moving forward—no matter what stands in their way. Because success isn’t about never failing; it’s about failing forward fast and rising stronger every time.

I still remember a moment in my career when failure felt overwhelming. I had trained for years, sacrificed, and worked relentlessly toward my goals—only to fall short. It would have been easy to let disappointment define me, to let fear hold me back. But I made a choice: to learn from it, to adjust, and to come back stronger. That failure became one of the most important turning points in my journey. It forced me to develop resilience, sharpen my mindset, and trust the process. And in the end, it led me to achieve things I once thought were impossible.

Key Takeaways:

✔ Failure is feedback – Learn from mistakes, adjust, and keep moving forward.

✔ Fear is normal—don't let it control you – The best athletes, leaders, and champions feel fear, but they act anyway.

✔ Control the controllables – Focus on effort, attitude, and preparation instead of dwelling on what you can’t change.

✔ Fail forward fast – The faster you learn from failure, the faster you grow.

✔ Success comes from perseverance – The difference between those who achieve greatness and those who don’t isn’t talent—it’s the willingness to keep going when things get tough.
