SPECIAL GUEST: Jesse Lebeau & Jennifer Polich
The Attitude Is Everything program provides a live presentation at K-12 schools as well as colleges across the country (and abroad) designed to inspire, educate and support troubled youth. Students learn valuable life lessons such as the importance of their own personal attitudes, taking responsibility for their lives, believing in themselves and the value of hard work as a means to help them focus on the importance of education, graduating from high school and pursuing a higher education and career paths.
In addition to the powerful presentation, the Foundation gives school instructors and students a takeaway program that can be taught in the classroom and continued at home. The Attitude Is Everything curriculum includes the “Among the Giants’ book, corresponding workbook and follow up videos.
Join us as Jesse and Jennifer describe how this program excels in driving home the life lessons students have been taught through its curriculum, helps them apply it to their lives, and teaches new principles specifically designed to help young people with the issues they face in today’s ever-changing world.
ABOUT JESSE LEBEAU
Growing up as an undersized and over-matched basketball player on a remote Alaskan island with no roads or stores, Jesse LeBeau was overlooked and underestimated, constantly feeling like he had to prove himself. At a young age, Jesse developed a love for sports, particularly basketball. However, at 5’8″ Jesse had nearly every odd stacked against him.
Despite his size and circumstances, he managed to rise above it all and became a name in the world of streetball, regularly featured on TV, film, and international tours. Jesse has played in nationally televised games on Fox Sports Net against the best players in the world, and landing starring roles in commercials for Kobe Bryant and with other NBA players. He later made it to the big screen in Hollywood in the Warner Brother’s film “Thunderstruck” starring NBA All-Star Kevin Durant and starred on the Emmy nominated TV sitcom “This Just In”.
Currently, he plays himself on ‘The LeBeau Show’, a reality series that allows viewers to follow Jesse around the country to see firsthand the major impact he is having on youth, particularly troubled teens. His empowering story of triumph encourages anybody at any age to think of themselves, and how they can turn their biggest weaknesses into their greatest strengths.
“Jesse is living proof that if you work hard and believe in yourself, anything is possible.” – Allen Iverson
