The more important things in life

There was awful news this morning as the sports world has learned of Mike Leach passing this morning after a heart attack. Mike Leach was one of the most interesting and genuine figures in college football. I’ll always remember his silly but honest post-game interviews - his life advice during halftime was something I’ll miss. At only 61, he left the world too soon.

Most of the world, including myself, has never met Mike Leach personally. Yet, his sudden death still resonates with most of the sports world today. His impact was far reaching even beyond the the players and coaches that he worked with during his career.

Coach Leach’s death is another great reminder of what’s important in life. No one is going to remember the job you had or the investment that you made. Rather, they’re going to remember how you impacted their lives. It’s good to remind ourselves of this from time to time.
