I remember seeing Jimmy V's speech live on TV back in 1993 and it inspired me then as much as it does today. I was 25 years old then and was engaged to the girl of my dreams, working and living the high life. Less than 10 years later, I was clinging to life battling leukemia with the girl of my dreams beside me as well as 2 kids too young to know how bad things were. I do not know if it was luck, fate, medicine or prayer but somehow I survived and then last year somebody sent me Randy's Last Lecture. These 2 men were both truly 2 in a billion and you said it best that they left their mark on their inner circle and beyond. Every professional athlete should watch these videos at least once a year but especially when it comes to talking about their contract. I am thankful every day I have the perspective I now have and hope to do my part to share it with others as Jimmy and Randy did.
