[VIDEO] – YOU MATTER: Helping Students Believe in Their Worth and Potential
Every student needs to hear this—YOU MATTER. In a world that constantly tells young people they aren’t enough, my message is a bold reminder that their value isn’t based on likes, followers, or other people’s opinions. Confidence doesn’t come from comparison—it comes from believing in yourself, owning your strengths, and understanding that you have something special to offer. In this video, Roy Hall Jr. challenge students to see their worth, silence self-doubt, and step into their full potential. Because when students truly believe in themselves, they don’t just show up—they stand out, step up, and make a difference.
Championship Standards: The Mindset, The Mission, The Moment
Right now, students are facing more pressure than ever—pressure to be perfect, to fit in, to meet expectations that often feel impossible. The truth is, life isn’t easy, and success isn’t given—it’s earned. Roy’s message on Championship Standards stresses why every student needs the right mindset, a clear mission, and the courage to take action. The mindset determines everything; if they believe in themselves, they create opportunities instead of excuses. Their mission gives them direction—without a purpose, they’ll drift instead of drive toward success. But the most important part? The moment. Right now is the time to step up, push past fear, and take control of their future. There are no do-overs. No rewinds. Just one shot to be great. And that starts today.
[VIDEO] THE 10-90 Rule: How Your Response to Adversity Defines Your Future
Life isn’t about what happens to you—it’s about how you respond. Challenges, setbacks, and disappointments are guaranteed, but your reaction is what separates winners from quitters. In this video, Roy Hall Jr. break down the 10-90 Rule, and why resilience, integrity, hard work, and effort matter more than circumstances. Success isn’t about having the perfect situation—it’s about making the right choices even when things don’t go your way. The students who push through, stay focused, and keep showing up will be the ones who achieve greatness. The question isn’t whether life will challenge you—it will. The real question is: How will you respond?

The Resilience Playbook: Equipping Students with Resilience, Leadership, and Kindness
Today’s students face more challenges than ever—academic pressure, social expectations, and personal setbacks that can shake their confidence. Resilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about learning how to rise stronger. Students need to know that failure isn’t final and that setbacks are setups for comebacks. But success isn’t just about how they push through tough times—it’s also about how they treat people along the way. In a world where negativity and disrespect are easy options, Roy’s message emphasizes that true leaders stand out by choosing kindness, respect, and integrity. How they talk to their peers, handle disagreements, and show up for others will define their future more than any test score. My message gives students the motivation, mindset, and real-life strategies they need to build resilience, lead with character, and create lasting success—on and off the field, in and out of the classroom.
