 The DOD began its commitment to service initiative last week by hosting USA and collegiate basketball representatives for a panel discussion on leadership. It is a singular honor for all of us to be here among you all the coaches we've spent the last day and a half talking about the awe that we have for you and the commitment to selfless service that all of you have made. The consequences in your game are a little bit different than the consequences in in this game but I think there are lessons that all of us can learn from each other and that's why we're here today. The panel discussion touched on leadership recruiting and retaining talent and helping young players transition to the next phase of their lives.
