Staying positive is the most important
thing for teamwork and success.

what students said about Cliff Kennell: firefighter, coach, trainer

He discussed the connection between athletes and drugs. Because he is a former professional athlete, he was able to effectively describe to us what issues an athlete may face. I really enjoyed how he commented on the fact that he did not have a role model. I believe that a someone will have a stronger character if they aspire to their own goals while respecting multiple other persons. When someone is focused on being their role model, they fail to become someone original!

  • I will remember what Cliff Kennell said about surrounding yourself with positive people for the rest of my life. I strongly believe that when you are in a "dark place" you definitely need to surround yourself with positive people. Sport teams would have benefited from Cliff Kennell's presentation because of his experience as an athlete, mentor, and coach.His experience with teamwork would also benefit athletes immensely.

 

He said to focus on your short term goals, especially when feeling fatigued or tired. When you are focused on your long term goals it makes it more difficult and makes you feel like you are never going to accomplish your goal.

From what I have heard and learnt today someone I believe my brother could have benefited from the ideas, for he could use putting his goals in perspective to figure out that which he is really wanting to do and really passionate about. I also think my Dad would've enjoyed to days talks for he is a very goal oriented person and would have taken a lot out of what was said, and would've had many interesting questions to ask

i liked that he had his ups and downs and it show that not every one is perfect at their jobs and has to make very tough decisions on their own. I liked that he said that his family is proud of the work he does and that his wife was always there to hold his shoulder.
