Any coach who cares more about winning than their players doesn't understand or appreciate the opportunity coaches have.

Landing on 2 feet gives you options because you don’t have an established pivot foot.

With a defender on your back, the ball is hidden and you can go either way.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

On the night the Titanic sank, a 21-year-old college student watched his father die.

Hours later, doctors told him both of his legs would have to be amputated.

Instead, he got up and started walking.

His name was Richard Norris Williams.

And surviving the Titanic was only the beginning of his story.

In April 1912, Richard and his father, Charles Duane Williams, boarded the Titanic as first-class passengers in Cherbourg, France.

They were traveling to America so Richard could continue his studies at Harvard.

When the ship struck the iceberg on April 14, father and son made their way to the deck together.

Then disaster struck again.

As the Titanic sank, one of its massive funnels collapsed.

The falling structure hit Charles Williams and killed him instantly.

Richard was standing beside him.

He narrowly escaped the same fate.

Moments later, he was in the freezing North Atlantic.

The water temperature was around 28°F (-2°C).

Most people survived only minutes.

Richard spent roughly six hours in the water or clinging to one of the partially submerged collapsible lifeboats before rescue arrived.

When the RMS Carpathia finally picked up survivors at dawn, his condition was severe.

His legs were frozen from the knees down.

The ship's doctor examined him and delivered a grim verdict:

Both legs would need to be amputated.

In 1912, severe frostbite often meant gangrene, infection, and death.

Amputation was considered the safest option.

Richard refused.

He reportedly told doctors that he was going to need his legs.

Then he got out of bed.

Against medical advice, he began walking the deck of the Carpathia every two hours.

Day and night.

Step after painful step.

For four days.

By the time the ship reached New York, his condition had improved enough that amputation was no longer necessary.

He walked off the ship on his own.

Most people would consider that the defining story of a lifetime.

For Richard Williams, it wasn't.

A few months later, he enrolled at Harvard.

Then he returned to tennis.

In 1914, he won the U.S. National Championship, the tournament that would later become the U.S. Open.

In 1916, he won it again.

Over the following years, he became one of the best tennis players in the world, winning multiple major doubles titles and representing the United States internationally.

Then came World War I.

Williams served in the U.S. Army and distinguished himself in combat.

France awarded him both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor for his service.

After the war, he returned to tennis once again.

At the 1924 Paris Olympics, he badly sprained his ankle during the mixed doubles tournament and considered withdrawing.

His partner, Hazel Wightman, refused to let him quit.

Williams played much of the tournament barely able to move.

Together, they won Olympic gold.

Over the years, he became a Davis Cup captain, a respected figure in American tennis, and eventually a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Yet people who knew him rarely heard him talk about any of it.

Not the Titanic.

Not the championships.

Not the war.

Not the medals.

Not the Olympic gold.

In fact, he disliked attention so much that later in life he had approximately 160 tennis trophies melted down into a single silver serving tray.

He used it to serve drinks to guests in his Pennsylvania home.

Most visitors had no idea what it was.

Or what it represented.

A Titanic survivor.

A two-time national champion.

A decorated war veteran.

An Olympic gold medalist.

A Hall of Famer.

All hidden inside an ordinary tray sitting quietly on a side table.

Richard Norris Williams died in 1968 at the age of 77.

If you had met him, he probably wouldn't have told you any of this.

And that may be the most remarkable thing about him.

Remember when we had class in the White House.

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
