“The lessons I learned from my coaches and family always kept me going through the trials in my life. In sports a lot of times, you have to overcome adversity, to meet challenges head on and attain goals. Those lessons helped me succeed on the track, and in life. I want to be able to pass on that message to kids today.”– Jim Shea, Jr.
