In The March 2021 CLJ Issue--Still learning from Jimmy V


Jim Valvano who died in 1993 at age 47 would have turned 75 on March 10. The former NC State basketball coach and athletic director led the Wolfpack to the 1983 NCAA championship. Accusations of rules violations—which ultimately revealed no outright major violations in recruiting or financial practices—forced Valvano to resign in 1990. Following the end to his coaching career, 

Valvano worked as a broadcaster and became a motivational speaker. His speeches sometimes covered the controversy at NC State while offering advice to his audiences on how to handle and get over unfortunate events as well as handling the character and reputational damage they present. 

Valvano’s enduring legacy is a speech he made in this exact spirit at the first ESPY Awards in 1993. He was in the throes of the cancer which would take his life less than two months later. After announcing his intention to create a charitable foundation dedicated to finding the cure for cancer, he went on to speak emotionally and eloquently about individual success and his views on what made life worthwhile.

The March 2021 issue of The Coaching and Leadership Journal highlights five significant things leaders can learn from that legendary speech.
