By WAYNE IVEY, BREVARD SHERIFF // October 1, 2017
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Friday afternoon, I was honored to speak to the Satellite High School Varsity Football team as part of their pre-game activities before traveling to Orlando for their Football Game against Trinity Prep.
As part of the event, I was joined by the teams Chaplain, Coaches and Team Moms who are all part of helping give the players the tools they need to be successful both on and off the field.
During my part of the presentation I had a chance to share with the team some insight on leadership, character and the honor of serving and to encourage them to look upon themselves as leaders in their school and community both now and in the future.
I would like to personally thank the Coaches and Lt. Bert Gamin of our agency for inviting me to speak, the Chaplain for hosting the event, the parents and volunteers who prepared the meal for the team and of course the players for being so respectful and attentive during the presentation.
As a side note, the Scorpions won their game against Trinity Prep 79-35. Great game everyone!
