Larry Cotlar's Message? Get Better Every Day

 

The voice of Drake Men's Basketball addressed the Rotary Club of West Polk County at their regular meeting, June 8th, 2015.  Mr. Cotlar shared his extensive and interesting career path and a few lessons that he learned along the way.  But his primary message was one that all Rotarians can embrace, something we strive to do; "Get Better Every Day".

 

How do we get better every day?  A lot of it hinges on attitude, but it also requires us to know what we can and cannot control.  Toughness and persistence are important attributes as well.  You see, Larry has had lifelong interest and personal and professional engagement in two areas; sports and radio.  Many of the things that he has learned, and that he has seen great coaches teach in sports, also apply to everyday life.  Just like a coach want the athlete to focus on improving their game every day; so to should we attempt to improve ourselves every day.  By adopting this mantra, there are few limits to what we can achieve.

 

The Rotary Club of West Polk County would like to thank Larry Cotlar for addressing our group.  We would also like to thank Rotarian Luke Vogel of CustomOne CFO & Controllers for inviting Mr. Cotler to present.  Watch for a new book by Larry Cotler to be released in the coming months and a new sports talk radio show in the works.
