We had a great week in class, punctuated by a long form conversation with two time Super Bowl champion Chris Snee of the New York Giants - So many valuable takeaways; from humble beginnings in small town PA, with the value of hard work instilled at an early age by his parents, the first Division 1 recruit from his high school, to earning a degree and a first round selection into the NFL, and on to winning two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. Chris shared a lot about his journey and what it takes to play and succeed at the highest level:

• Becoming a student of the game

• Being accountable to yourself and your team

• Setting goals and working toward them

• Leading by example

• Value of a ‘chip’ on your shoulder

• Importance of education

• PREPARATION
