Understanding Sports as a Metaphor For Life's More Difficult Lessons
The world of sports is a microcosm for life that magnifies, for all to
see, great successes. But the personal road that players take to achieve
this success is often overlooked. It has been said that the difference
between a great player and an average player is the great players will do
the mundane things when nobody is looking. This is true on both the
physical and spiritual level and it defines the essence of Champions of
Faith.
Catholics@Work is proud to announce Mr. John Morales, a former sports
reporter and anchor Fox Sports Net; co-producer, writer, and narrator of
"Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, a groundbreaking, multiple award
winning sports film that showcases the intersection of sports and faith in
Major League Baseball, will be the featured speaker at the breakfast event
on February 9, 2010.
John will share with us his perspective on the importance of living your
values, everyday, and demonstrate the incredible value lessons we can
learn from sports. Mr. Morales said, "Sports clearly show the importance
of basic values in our lives", he continued, "the successful players and
teams embrace the values of perseverance, courage, sense of duty and fair
play, just to name a few."
John began his sportscasting career in Chicago on WBBS-TV in 1984-85 as
the creator, host and producer of "Beisbol En Chicago," the first Spanish
language television program that showcased the Hispanic contribution to
Major League Baseball. From 1987 to 2005 John served as reporter and
anchor for radio and TV sport shows covering Michigan's 1997 national
championship in college football, 3 Stanley Cup Finals appearances by the
Detroit Redwings including back to back title in 1997-98, and Michigan
State's 2000 national championship in college basketball.
