Dr. Willie Jolley’s principle to win BIG today “The Satchel Paige Story: Mind Over Matter”
When I speak at events, I often talk about lessons learned from Satchel Paige, who was an incredible man in a Black History Maker. Satchel Paige was born in Mobile, AL, and learned to play baseball while in reform school. He grew up and went on to become a star in the Negro Baseball League and then became the first African American pitcher to pitch in the big leagues.
He pitched until he was almost 50 years old and was the first African American pitcher to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Satchel Paige had a famous quote about pitching in the big leagues up until he was almost 50. He said, “age is about mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter.” The lesson for you today is to not let your age stop you from living your dream. Age truly is only a number, and my goal for you is that you live your greatest dreams no matter what age you are.
