Aaron has spoken from coast-to-coast, sharing his story with college, high school and middle school students, along with a variety of businesses, associations, organizations, and churches. His talk is centered around the life lessons his father taught him and others-emphasizing that the greatest gift any of us has been given is the power to choose, that each of us has the ability, the right, and the privilege to live each day with passion for what we do, and how each of us can truly make a difference in the world.

K. C. Wolf is the official mascot of the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs....
In the inaugural class of 2006, he became the first NFL mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. K. C. Wolf has been portrayed by Dan Meers since the mascot's inception. Since his introduction to Chiefs fans in 1989, KC Wolf has quickly become one of the most entertaining mascots in professional sports. In November 2013, Meers was seriously injured while rehearsing a bungee cord stunt from a bank of lights above Arrowhead Stadium. Sidelined for six months while recovering from cracked ribs, a collapsed lung and a broken vertebra suffered in the accident, Meers wrote a book titled "Wolves Can't Fly" and gave all the proceeds to charity.

“My occupation is mascotting," Meers said. “My preoccupation, what I'm truly passionate about, is my faith, family and using my life to make a positive impact on the world I live in.

He is also a firm believer that when you learn to think only of the best and work on for the best, you can start to expect the best!

Carter has been coaching for more than 15 years. Throughout his life and tenure as a coach he has inspired and guided numerous lives of young men to reach their highest potential.

In 1999, when he was a basketball coach at Richmond High School in Richmond, California, he locked his undefeated, state play-off team out of the gym and forced them to study and stop counting on athletic potential as the only ticket out of a tough, inner city life. While controversial to the community at first, Carter was eventually praised for his determined emphasis on prioritizing good values for his team. The story of the 1999 season led to the 2005 film "Coach Carter" starring Samuel L. Jackson as Carter.
