Voting members are established at the first two meetings but everyone is welcome to attend the meetings* and participate in the implementation of projects relating to the SIP. If you have any questions regarding SAC, please contact Dr. Lisa Karcinski at 407-905-3000 or [email protected].

Monday's Motivational Moment!
Don Shula
THE TWENTY-FOUR HOUR RULE

Don Shula, former coach of the Miami Dolphins, is the only coach to have led his NFL team to a perfect season and a Super Bowl victory. His secret? When he coached, he held to a twenty-four hour rule. After a football game, he allowed himself, his coaches, and his players only twenty-four hours to celebrate a victory or sulk after a defeat. During that time, they were encouraged to make the most of the experience. But once the twenty-four hours were over, they had to put it behind them.

You don't have to be a football player to benefit from that advice!
Have a great week Knights!
