What a great individual and path he is on. Taking everyone along for the journey. That's courage with big C.

Coach Carroll is very inspirational. His positive approach and willingness to help others regardless of race or ethnicity is what being human is all about. America could be taken to an amazing Golden Age if all Americans took a few pages out of Coach Carroll's play book.

This is a perfect example of living the Law of Attraction (remember the book The Secret?) The Law of Attraction is all about being positive, visualizing, beleiving and being of service --
Coach Carrol said "I beleive day to day, something good's gonna happen ..." -- he visualizes and beleives good things will happen - he had and has a vision of what he wants in life. He has a goal, works on it everyday but is also truly joyful and relaxed ... He's also GRATEFUL for everything in his life and THAT allows more good to come in.
I LOVE that he doesn't tear down his players, but builds them up - gives them 'teachable moments'
A Better LA is how Pete Carroll gives back - he has been blessed and so he gives back by being of service - the more you give unconditionally, the more you get ..
Man, this guy it a GREAT example and he is not swayed by anyone - he's SO true to himself.
We can think/visualize & beleive our way out of negative circumstances - think positively ....
Good on ya man - you are a shining example for us all - thank you !!

Mr. Byron Pitts, what a fantastic job reporting on Pete Carroll's USC Trojans, but most of all the assistance he is extending to the young men in Watts. I will be in contact with "A better LA" to see how I can assist.

Byron, thanks again.

I am a huge fan of Trojan Football and I know that not only the team but the Trojan Family and community is better because of Coach Carroll.
