Coach Tony Lotti

Here’s a small portion of my speech at the @AtlantaFalcons Award Show. I hope it will encourage someone. Thank you for blessing me with this honor @FalconsCR 🥲 Been an unbelievable year. Find your calling & may you be on a quest for significance & find your significance in your dash too.

Very thankful to have been able to work with & host a youth football camp for boys & girls in my @SKG_Football community tonight! Thank you to @FalconsCR @USAFootball & my good friend @BuddyCurry50 for leadership & always helping our youth!

Drove down south today to be with my family as we welcomed home my Nephew/US Marine from deployment on USS Tripoli for Operation Epic Fury in Iran. Deployed for almost a year, hugged him today & a prayer answered. Still praying for all of those away from home & in harms way who put their lives on the line for all of us. 🇺🇸🙏🪖

You must do “hard” & embrace it. On the road to success you must expect & face adversity. Adversity builds RESILIENCE and RESILIENCE is a necessary component for attaining long-term success.
Keep pushing.
Engage.
Learn.
Grow.
Move forward.

When I addressed my team yesterday at pregame meal, we talked about 9/11.
None of them were born then & they will only know what we teach them. I was asked on camera if I remembered where I was when I heard as to what was happening that day on 9/11. I told them I knew exactly what I was doing when I heard.
My grandparents did too when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, My parents could tell you exactly where they were when President Kennedy & Dr King were assassinated & unfortunately, my generation had 9/11.

I told them my prayer for them is that no one will ever ask them - Do you remember where you were when…
