Keynote Presentation - Embracing Challenge
Eric McElvenny, a former Belle Vernon graduate, will be presenting to our Middle and High School Students on Thursday, February 9th beginning at 7:45 am.
Eric was a U.S. Marines captain in Afghanistan when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in late 2011. After surgeons amputated most of his lower right leg, McElvenny received an email from his commanding officer who wanted to know when he'd be running his first marathon. McElvenny decided to take that motivational suggestion even further by competing in triathlons, including several at the Ironman level. Those consist of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a marathon (26.2 miles).
Our students will have the opportunity to join Eric as he explores the characteristics, traits and actions he found most useful in his journey from the hospital bed to the Ironman World Championships finish line. During this presentation, Eric will give our students his tools and techniques to overcoming life's obstacles through powerful, funny and emotional stories.
Eric’s website is attached in the above link.
