Hello! I'm the author of this blog and the book, Great Big Small Things. I was born and raised in the small town of Richlands, Virginia, where my mother and father still live. I played football at Emory and Henry College and met Coach Fred Selfe there. He was strong, fair, courteous, caring, and demanding. He asked for excellence from each of his players and students. He gave us every tool and reason to reach the state of excellence. He led by example.
The more I see of the world--how it works and doesn't work, public policy, corporate, religion, life--the more I long for the simple, rock solid values Coach Selfe taught those who witnessed the way he lived his life--courage, character, principles, and always serving others.
Show our troops and their families you appreciate them!!
MY DAD, JOSEPH B. MCGLOTHLIN SAYS:
"Please remember our troops and their families each and every day!"
FRED SELFE DAY 2009!
One day of service to others/one day of business, education, military, sports and religious leaders talking about how to use the lessons of Fred Selfe's life to make the world around you a better place. Make it happen. Pitch in and honor a man who gave so much to his fellow man. Help keep his spirit alive and keep "paying it forward." More info. to follow!
