Three Things Every Day: Why Jim Valvano's Recipe Still Works
Laughter, Thought, and Tears: How a Coach's Simple Formula Creates Extraordinary Lives in Education Advocacy

Your Full Day Challenge
Valvano's wisdom isn't just for coaches or advocates. It's for every parent trying to navigate their child's education, every community member working for positive change, every person committed to making a difference rather than just making money.
Make yourself laugh today. Find humor in the absurdities of bureaucracy, the comedy of errors in learning new advocacy skills, the shared experiences that connect you with other parents.
Make yourself think today. Go beyond surface reactions to deeper questions. Consider not just what's happening, but why it's happening and what it means for the future.
Make yourself cry today. Stay connected to the emotional reality of what's at stake. Let yourself feel both the frustration of challenges and the joy of breakthroughs.
