This last week I was blest with the chance to hear him speak. His speech was based on the idea that by following three rules, you mint live a just flavour with no regrets. Throughout the speech Holtz cracked joke after joke, charge it constantly interesting.At one point, he even shocked the crowd with a very impressive magic trick. By combining an excellent meaning with humor, and magic he had the entire crowds attention for the good duration of his speech. Holtzs three rules were do the right thing, do your best, and direct people you care. The three rules seem easy enough to follow, and the motivation to go along with them has inspired me to follow them. Lou was truly passionate about what he preached. He clearly contributed much of his success to these rule s.Through stories of demeanor experience Holtz persuaded, and make the crowd. I think every person in the gymnasium left hand with the knowledge to improve themselves as a person, and the motivation to perhaps do it. Lou Holtz is truly an extraordinary person. Hes a 59 man that talks with a lisp, and role model for thousands. That in itself is impressive. not to mention his excellent track record as a football coach, New York Times best selling books, Motivational speaking accomplishments, and more.His life long mission of making not only decisions he can live with, but the right ones has cast him into success. Having never been one to gain college sports I walked into the convocation with little knowledge of who Lou Holtz was, and low expectations for his speech. I walked out stunned, surprised, and impressed. Lou Holtz is an amazing person. His speech gave me knowledge, and motivation to improve my life, and for that I am grateful.
