Jim ‘The Rookie’ Morris
Athlete, author, and teacher Jim Morris — whose life story inspired the Walt Disney film “The Rookie” — will be the keynote speaker at AGD 2016, in Boston. As a 35-year-old high school baseball coach, Morris sought to motivate his team by trying out for the major leagues. Three months after throwing 12-consecutive 98-mph pitches during tryouts, he realized his goal of pitching in a Major League Baseball game. Morris’ inspirational lecture will epitomize the AGD’s commitment to lifelong learning by focusing on the importance of mentorship and leadership.
