The engaged students from Landrum Middle School learned some soccer history, but more importantly they learned how to build their character. He related the information to the students in a way that made them think of how teamwork, confidence and humility are important characteristics of one’s life, not just a part of a soccer player’s career.
The faculty told Eddie Robinson of the student’s exemplary behavior and how they exceeded academic expectations. Mr. Robinson made sure to tell the students that he and the faculty were proud of their accomplishments. The students were inspired with Mr. Robinson’s powerful message and amazed that a sports star cared about their grades, conduct and future. The timing was perfect as the Brill Talks was just a few days before the new and rigorous STAAR test. Landrum Middle School had 600+ motivated students with an awe of confidence. This event was videotaped and will be distributed to various schools in the Houston Area. If you are a school or charitable organization serving middle school or high school students, please contact us so we can distribute a DVD to your location.
