You don't have to like basketball to learn from Tamir Goodman.
Sports Illustrated dubbed him the Jewish Jordan. If by Jordan they also mean resilient, leader, beacon of light, then that moniker is spot on.
This is Tamir's story, from High School phenom to professional hoopster and all the challenges in between.
In this conversation, Tamir talks about his road to professional sports, being born with a gift, gratitude towards his HS coach, dyslexia, multiple injuries, how the internet has changed the way players study the game, being able to see plays unfold before they do, Alfie from Sylvan Learning Center and how he deals with life's inevitable challenges.
Know someone who has dyslexia? listen to how Tamir has dealt with his.
If you are looking for a motivational speaker for your company, I highly recommend booking Tamir. His message is universal and uplifting.
