Keynote Speaker, Jim "The Rookie" Morris Thursday, October 30, 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Never Give Up On a Dream

More than a Cinderella story, Jim Morris' journey is testimony to the power of dreams and their ability to inspire and transform human life. A fast-track minor league player, Morris' dreams were derailed by serious arm injuries. Eleven years later, he was a high school baseball coach who unexpectedly learned a life-changing lesson from his team. Now a role model to millions, Morris' memoir, The Rookie, was made into major motion picture, starring Dennis Quaid as Jim. A schoolteacher by trade, Morris’ miracle story will captivate and inspire you to never give up on a dream.
