WHAT EDUCATORS
SAY ABOUT SPORTY
"Rarely have I seen teacher more willing to give
up their class time in favor of a guest
speaker. In fact, they go out of their way to
combine classes so that more students might
enjoy the uplifting and positive messages
presented by Sporty. I urge you to continue
your support of Sporty King. He is a great
gift to the community. He not only helps
students, but he has been a tremendous motivator
for our teachers. Thank you for helping him
stay around." - Will Stigall, Assistant
Principal /CPS
"Sporty King's motivational talk
invites kids to think deeply about their
personal reactions to put-downs and subsequently
to realize they themselves have the power to
change their own lives and the lives of their
peers. Sporty persuades with his personal story
and interactive approach; he sets high the
standard for social understanding; he asks them
to empathize. After the presentation to the
students, Hey U.G.L.Y. also conducts a session
for teachers and an evening session for parents.
This presentation by Hey U.G.L.Y.'s is an
effective stop bullying initiative - an
emotional, experiential learning so the kids can
learn to have compassion and understand the
importance of treating each other in a fair and
a good way." Dr. Sue Bryant, Principal St.
Stanislaus Kostas School in Michigan City, IN
"From the time the Hey U.G.L.Y.'s acronym was
explained until the closing poem, our audience
was mesmerized by Sporty King's commanding
delivery and the compelling content of his
message. The message, crucial for students and
teachers, is that positive thinking and the
dividends of health and harmony are a catalyst
for change in yourself, and then your
environment." Janie Colton Health Consultant
Berrien Regional Education Service Agency (RESA)
"Sporty's suggestions and ideas in working with the
young people of today repeatedly demonstrate
his commitment to enhancing students' growth
and achievement." Staff Development

"Sporty is truly a master orator, gifted and
talented in bringing to any audience an
inspiring and uplifting perspective of personal
and professional development and awareness. I
enthusiastically recommend him any
organization looking for an individual who can
skillfully incorporate the mission of the
organization with the professional and personal
goals of the employee." Linda Battle, Office
of Human Resources/ Chicago State University
"Sporty's message was inspiring and got the teachers
in the right frame of mind for motivating the
students to do their very best in their
academics for the school year. I have received
fine comments from the teachers regarding his
presentation." Dr.Otha O. Lang, PrincipalJane Addams
Middle School
"I used a motivational speaker named Sporty King
who came into my school and transformed my
entire student body. I know we have all had
motivational speakers who have done something in
our schools, but this guy is a miracle worker.
Whenever someone finds a person that is really
good, I think it is important that we share that
information." Momma Hawk, Principal of Paderewski
Elementary School and founder of Recovering the
Gifted Child/CPS
