What are your core values and are you using them to improve the quality of your life and your work? Part of discovering what values exist at your core is looking back at the failures and triumphs of life to improve and ensure a successful future.

James Franklin is approaching his second season as the head coach of Penn State’s Football program. Franklin was named the 16th head football coach in the storied 127-year history of the Nittany Lion program on January 11, 2014. A two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) quarterback at East Stroudsburg University, Franklin has demonstrated the ability to recruit, teach and motivate talented student-athletes throughout his coaching tenure. Franklin graduated from East Stroudsburg in 1995 with a degree in psychology. He also earned a master's degree in educational leadership from Washington State University.

    It's truly inspiring to see people reawakening to long-lost and forgotten values. This shift is crucial if we intend to progress further😇

    Dear TEDx Talks :), I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time, energy and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube community. Thank You, TEDx Talks!

    Compete with YOURSELF, be a better version each day! Competing with others causes for you to make comparisons all the time which will result illogical disappointments or/and beating yourself.

    James Franklin later went on to become B1G Ten Coach Of The Year after last year's signature win over no. 2 Ohio State and beating no. 6 Wisconsin in the B1G Ten Championship Game. Nobody thought that he would be able to do anything, but he turned Penn State's season around last year and got them into the Rose Bowl, which they lost to no. 9 USC. He'll be head coach at Penn State for a very long time.

    Dear Mr. Franklin, if you are singing the same songs with the same tuning, working together, pulling the rope in the same direction and building a sense of community, how are you going to do all of that by instilling a spirit of competition instead of collaboration? Thanks.
