What Did You Get from Christmas
A Gift: You Can Give Without Loving - But, You Can't Love Without Giving.
Testimonial from Jim Valvano
"Don Easterling is a great coach, but he is also an outstanding speaker for any occasion - if you haven't heard him you should - he is terrific!"
Endorsement from Mark Bernardino
Don Easterling is not only one of the greatest swim coaches ever, he is one of the finest storytellers and writers I have ever known. He is a national treasure, a man of superb wit, spirit and charm. He is motivator par excellence, my mentor and dearest friend who has enriched my life and that of so many others. These stories are a must read for all who treasure the values and lessons of life that we all cherish.
Testimonial from Beth Harrell
As his athlete, fellow coach and friend, I have been clearly inspired by Coach Easterling's passion for storytelling and his gift of finding the words to motivate us all.
Personal Reflection from David Fox
I remember vividly receiving my first Christmas Story in 1990. It came none too soon. Christmas training of my freshman year in college was tough and a heartwarming, inspirational and entertaining story was certainly welcomed. Your Christmas stories have delighted for decades. In the busy world we live in: They remind us that reflection inspires. They teach us to find joy in the little things; They truly remind us how to get in the Christmas spirit. The art of storytelling is one of many arts that you have mastered. Nothing gets us in the spirit like your stories. They are timeless and will be enjoyed by many for generations to come.
Endorsement from Doug Russell
As Coach Don tells his story you follow along with your own story because he has taken you back to a time forgotten until the echoes come flooding back. When the story is read and I have a couple of laughs and wipe away the tears, I carefully fold the story back up and place it safely back in its envelope and I take a moment to say, Thanks Coach.
