Former Redskins Quarterback Visits North Summit Schools The North Summit High School auditorium was packed on Thursday, Nov. 3, as students from both die middle and high school attended an assembly together. The guest speaker was Mr. Tom Flick who spoke on Living on The Winning Edge. It isn't often that a speaker can keep the attention of an audience filled with students aged but Mr. Flick definitely held his audience spellbound. By speaking with enthusiasm, humor and straight facts, he was not only able to reach the youth but surpassed all their hoped for expectations. Mr. Flick, who resides in Redmond, WA, with his wife and two children, began by telling a little about himself. He was quarterback for the University of 10-1- 8, Washington Huskies, where he led his team to the 1981 Rose Bowl game. Was voted the Pac-1- 0 Player of The Year and was elected by this teammates as Most Inspirational and team captain. Tom was drafted by the Washington Redskins and played seven seasons in the NFL before retiring in 1988. Since retiring, he has spoken to over 500,000 students in the Weston States, putting to good use his communications degree. He said The reason I give these speaking engagements is because I truly love the youth. They are special and unique individuals who face many temptations." Guidelines and goals will help them along the way, if they learn to apply them in their lives." Mr. Flick gave several personal experiences to fit in with his talk. One time, as he was on the scrimmage line, he found himself facing a large lineman from the Pittsburgh Steelcrs team. All of a sudden, the big guy pointed his finger and said Who are you? Later, Tom found himself wondering the same thing. It is not easy to become a professional player, which he likened to painting one toothpick red in a box of 12,000 and pulling out the red one. He considers himself both lucky and fortunate to have had the opportunity to have played pro- ball. At the age of 17, he was involved in a car accident. The vehicle which crashed into the car carrying Tom and a friend, was one in which four more acquaintances were riding in. The four youths had been drinking, which caused an impairment in judgment. After the accident, only one of the four youths came to check on Tom and companion, while the others were busy hiding the beer. Tom said he realized more felly how glad he was that he set a goal at age 13 to never CongntulationmToiEleetion, jMWnners is- meetings. Meetings will be announced as they are scheduled. drink. Don Rogers, a friend who played for the Geveland Browns at the same time as he did, died from using cocaine. Don was not a user, but since cocaine goes to the heart first, it was a fatal mistake to fry it. The youth were encouraged to chart their lives as a person would do if they were planning a road trip using maps to mark the way. People need to have dreams and set goals which will help them stay on track. All youth can qualify to achieve success, but they need to learn to give 100 percent consistently and not 60 percent some of the time. He said learn not to compromise your standards, and to choose friends who will be supportive and not ask you to do wrong things. In closing remarks, Mr. Flick cautioned the youth to abstain from those things in life which would harm their physical, mental or emotional health. Use your life wisely, set goals, become aware of your value and potential." Those attending were definitely rewarded for listening so attentively. Thanks is extended to Principal Jim brooks who arranged for Mr. Flick to visit our area.
