Thank you to former Arkansas Razorback Head Football Coach Houston Nutt for speaking to administrators at the closing session of the 2020 AAEA Summer Conference. Here are a few quotes from Coach Nutt:
What you do affects eternity.
It's all about your attitude and persistence.
You will get knocked down. The real question is will you get back up.
You are the biggest difference maker in the world.
If you get the boys and girls right, the world is right. That's what you do.
If a person answers yes to these 3 questions, you have a good person, no matter what the position or role in life:
Can I trust you?
Are you committed - both feet in?
Do you care?
