Enduring Values from Baseball's Iron Man
Cal Ripken Jr. is a baseball and local community legend. But legends aren't born, they're made.
In this talk, Ripken reflects on his life and career, offering lessons-learned for the next generation and those to come. He shares the values he has lived by, stories behind what it took to keep his streak alive and what it meant to bring the World Series to Baltimore. Ripken's message is simple yet poignant and essential wisdom to anyone trying to forge a successful life in times that are often chaotic. Blending insights from sports, business and a life well-lived, Ripken outlines eight rules for the game of baseball and life, drawn from the lessons he has learned on and off the field.
