Champions have winning ingredients why can’t the underdawgs?
Being a student is challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Too many students are
thrown into circumstances to survive without the skills needed to do so. Too
many students think that “someone owes them something” nothing is owed,
everything is earned.”
When students don’t know how to, they check out and quit. This presentation
shows them what to do regardless of their circumstances and the different
things are thrown at them to become emotionally resilient in life’s adversities and be
able to transform in school and outside of school.
Students will learn the skills they need to improve self-awareness, self-
management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-
making this a dynamic and fast-paced experience.
Students will walk away discovering:
1. How to have some Heart (Heroic Effort and Realizing Truth)“
2. How to check your Attitude and control your attitude to positively
reflect your actions to your success.
3. How to Think further than your circumstance.
4. The secret psychology of Underdawgs is that most people have
been underdogs at some point in their lives because no one can succeed in
every pursuit.
5. This is a compelling presentation that mixes high-energy, humor,
conflict resolution, and crowd participation but MOST importantly useable,
actionable content that works, guaranteed. Your students will take their life and
academics to the next level!
