On The Road with Joe
The Ripken Foundation honors Joe Ehrmann with the Cal Ripken, Sr. Award.

The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation held its annual gala Aspire: A Tribute to Life's Coaches to recognize those whose "work has made a difference in the life of others."  2010 honoree, Joe Ehrmann, joined past recipients Lou Holtz, Yogi Berra, Peyton Manning and the late Tim Russert in receiving this Award. The Foundation was founded by Hall of Fame player Cal Ripken Jr. to carry on the legacy of his father to give kids a chance to play, compete, learn and benefit from life-changing experiences on and off the field.  Other 2010 honorees at this year's Gala were former Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee and philanthropist and Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell.

Joe spent four days in Norman, Oklahoma speaking to students, educators, coaches and parents of the Norman School District, Heritage Hall, Putnam City North High School as well as 450 student-athletes at the University of Oklahoma.  

 

JoeCastiglione"During the past two years I've been hearing great things about Joe Ehrmann and the powerful message he delivers.  After hearing first-hand, I can't believe I waited that long.  I highly encourage you to avail yourself of the opportunity to listen to these important values and concepts which need to be applied to our society's most important resource-our youth."

 

Joseph R. Castiglione, Director of Athletics, University of Oklahoma

 
 

InSideOut Coaching Seminars Get Great Reviews: Texas and Georgia

 

The Texas High School Coaches Education Foundation was host to almost 200 coaches for an eight hour InSideOut Coaching Seminar in San Marcos.  Joe also led a seminar in Atlanta, Georgia with attendees coming from 9 different states.  InSideOut Coaching Seminar is a life changing process based on attachment research, social neuroscience and best coaching practices. The goal of InSideOut Coaching is to create a tipping point in communities where coaches and institutions support and implement the idea that the academic, social, emotional, civic and moral well-being of players are no longer considered beyond the scope of what coaches can or should accomplish.
