Blog 1 - Coach K (+)


Book: No book yet, haven’t chosen historical figure.
The search for a great Human Being.

1. Three people that I would consider great human beings are: 
*  Coach Mike Krzyzewsky 
*  Steve Irwin
*  Coach John Wooden
2. Are there commonalities in the ways in which great human beings have lived and the choices they have made?
·      All great human beings which are still known today and will be studied forever have a couple things in common, they all made the right choices. I’m sure maybe once or more times in there life they made small mistakes, however the good parts of what they accomplish throws the bad decisions over. They were all loyal, honest, filled with integrity and pride. They all didn't care as much if they die, as long as they died with their dignity. 

3. What are 3 things that would make my top Living History pick a strong entry into the museum?

   First, he is one of the most well known coaches in Basketball  history, not just college basketball, but basketball in general. 
   Second, he is also mostly known for his inspiring speeches, quotes and many more things that would motivate a person to take pride in what they are doing.
   Third, he is also well known for helping people, giving when there is not much to give. (Meaning when he was a child, he gave things like money away to the church when he didn't have much to give at all) He is also contributing in Cancer research, because one of his best friends Jimmy V and his mother, both died of cancer. 

Here is one video that I found in iTunes:

  1. I like your three choices. :D Maybe you should choose someone that you will find a lot of information about him for example Steve Irwin so it will be easier and more interesting for you. :)

  2. Good blog post! I like how you had strong examples about why Coach K was such a great person. I also found Steve Irwin as a great person, I just didn't put him on my list of great people.

  3. Very nice blog post and you chose some good choices. Your reasons for why Coach K should be in it are very good. But I agree with Despina that Steve Irwin would be a really good choice and easy to find information about.
