I recently heard Coach Bill Courtney speak again. Here is the video.
The below was written on November 3, 2015…
Last night I heard Coach Bill Courtney from the documentary Undefeated speak.
Give the trailer above a quick view if you haven’t already seen the movie.
If the trailer didn’t do it, I’ll let someone else convince you to watch the movie. This post is to share some notes I jotted down.
Coach Courtney is passionate about all the grant money and government programming will never make a change.
Nothing changes till people care

Coach Courtney on volunteering…
It’s not a nice thing to do. To go volunteer … it’s a requirement
Coach Bill Courtney
Breaking down his message to it’s simplest form…
1) Realize you are blessed
2) Realize you have a responsibility
3) Get off your butt and go helpIt’s that easy
Coach Bill Courtney
On leaders…
Want to measure the effectiveness of a leader, watch their followers
Coach Bill Courtney
A true leader serves and gives credit to followers
Coach Bill Courtney
On government and private handouts…
There is nothing more destructive than a hand out… it makes someone dependent
Coach Bill Courtney
A hand up is a blessing
Coach Bill Courtney
I felt the need to post this when I realized I had shared these notes with a couple people and bought Coach Courtney’s book in under 12 hours of hearing him speak.
