If you spend enough time within educational settings or even on the Internet, you’ve likely watched a TED Talk. These short presentations are intended to share powerful ideas from notable thought leaders with the general public. While TED Talks are focused on a more global approach, there are also TEDx Talks, which are independently organized for specific communities. Fortunately, one of our own alumni, Pierce Brooks, had the opportunity to present a speech for TEDxResedaBlvd regarding his experience and insight on transitioning from athletics to life after sports.
