The Legacy Centre Speaker Series with Tyler Summitt
"Make Winning an Attitude" presented by Tyler Summitt, son of legendary basketball coach, Pat Summitt, and Co-Founder and Board Member of the Pat Summitt Foundation
We are honored and excited to have Tyler Summitt - son of legendary basketball coach, Pat Summitt - as our special guest speaker on Thursday, March 27! Tyler will share his mother's Definite Dozen principles and how we can all use them to win in life. Pat Summitt created the Definite Dozen as a framework to success and used that framework to lead her team to 8 national championships and 1,098 wins, making her the winningest coach in college basketball history.
Pat Summitt was obviously a winner and inspired a winning attitude in her players. Tyler will share insights on how his mother was consistently successful by centering his speech on the Definite Dozen principle of "Make Winning an Attitude". Other Definite Dozen principles discussed in Tyler's speech will include "Change Is a Must", "Don't Just Work Hard - Work Smart", and "Put the Team Before Yourself".
Of course, you will get to hear stories of our beloved Pat. Also, Tyler will discuss his mother's faith in Jesus and how it helped them through her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Finally, tying into our theme for 2025, Tyler will reflect on the gift of growing through these different "Seasons of Life".
Reserve your seat today! Your RSVP is kindly requested by March 24th to reserve your seat and meal.
Note: This is an in-person event with a full breakfast. To help us reserve the appropriate number of seats and food, please ensure your registration is firm. Thank you!
