Coach K and Dr Oz in Turks & Caicos.
Posted by Andy Mann Posted in News | No Comments »
It’s not everyday that you get two celebrities on an island as small as Providenciales. Last week was such a day when both Coach K from Duke’s basketball team and the USA’s Olympic Team and also Dr Oz who has not only written several best selling books, but is also known as “Oprah’s doctor as a result of his many appearances on her show.
The reason for both of them being on the island was that they were giving “talks” to a corporate group holding its annual seminar at the Regent Palms. We were asked to be on hand to capture the event and also some of participants with the two guest speakers.
Over the years I have listened to many such “talks” and most are just OK. However these guys were beyond excellent. Not only do they clearly know what they are talking about, they were fabulous speakers with great stories to tell.
The best “lessons”? From Dr Oz that living longer isn’t the main goal. It’s actually a combination of living longer AND also living the way you want. So it’s not just a case of getting to 100 – its being able to be active and doing what you want to at 100 that counts. From Coach K – simply the many stories he had to tell of how he motivated multi-million dollar athletes to work together rather than just for themselves..
If you get the chance – go see these guys – they are that good.
