US Olympian, LESLIE MAXIE stops by the Treetop Stop to talk about being an ESPN reporter
US Olympian, LESLIE MAXIE stops by the Treetop Stop to talk about what inspired her to become a Broadcast Journalist.
"Lose to Win" was a speech shared at Momentum Education's Train the Trainer Symposium in October 2015. This inspirational speech crystalizes Leslie Maxie's tumultuous Olympic journey which culminates in a deeper understanding of her ultimate athletic purpose and personal peace.
*From Momentum Education
"My #MomentumMoments Talk was almost 30 years in the making. Giving this speech allowed me to harvest fruit from my past and (hopefully) feed someone feeling discourage by their issues with strained and broken family relationships. To that person I say, There is hope for us all and often times it reveals itself in unexpected ways."
-1988 US Olympian, Broadcaster, and Momentum Graduate Leslie Maxie
