Envision'08, in partnership with the San Antonio Sports Foundation, will be providing 20 student athletes an opportunity to hear Marcus Buckingham speak.

“The San Antonio Sports Foundation is grateful for the opportunity to share Mr. Buckingham’s message with our young athletes,” said Dr. Susan Blackwood, executive director of the Sports Foundation. “They are highly motivated young people on the cusp of making significant decisions in their lives. I expect a speaker of Mr. Buckingham’s caliber will inspire them to develop their strengths and pursue their passions in college and beyond.”

The athletes are participants in the San Antonio Sports Foundation's Dreams for Youth and Community Olympic Development Program. They are fencers, badminton players, divers and volleyball players who are competitive athletes at the regional and national levels.
