For Love of the Game with Sports Author David Smith

Language of the Soul Podcast

How can sports impart valuable life lessons? In our latest episode of Language of the Soul, we're joined by multifaceted author and speaker, David Smith, who is also the proud owner of the United Racquet Club. Sharing his journey as a storyteller, David unveils the motivation behind writing his first book and his commitment to inspiring others to document their unique narratives.
Our conversation zigzags through the all-encompassing worlds of Disney books, sports, and the art of goal-setting. With David, we dissect the profound relationship between passion and storytelling, the art of character development, and how sports can be a treasure trove of life lessons. We draw from personal anecdotes about coaching and writing sports books, and delve into the transformative power of human connection, the significance of lifelong learning, and the concept of legacy.
The latter part of our discussion underscores the sheer power of individual and collective creativity and how it can shape not just our lives but society at large. David's insights are nothing short of enlightening and inspiring. We wrap up with a touching reminder that life is, in essence, a story, and each one of us has the power to write our own unique song. With a promise of a future episode featuring David, we leave you with a sense of anticipation for more inspiring discussions. Tune in and let the journey begin!

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
