LETTER FROM
THE PRESIDENT
The

Athlete
Matters
Be Exceptional.
At each World T.E.A.M. Sports event, I am surrounded by people who
have chosen to Be Exceptional. Some made this decision following a
catastrophic turn of events. Some were simply in the wrong place at the
wrong time, and chose to overcome. Whether accidents, disease or the
ravages of combat, I have learned that it’s not the challenge that defines
the outcome, but how one chooses to respond. The participants in our
events could have decided to sit back and let their challenges define
them. But they didn’t. They decided to Be Exceptional.
The decision makes the difference.

Be Exceptional. Participate. Donate. Volunteer. Help Others.
We take great pride in World T.E.A.M. Sports events. But it’s the participants,
not the events, that make our organization. You–the athletes, the sponsors
and the volunteers–inspire us to Be Exceptional.
Thanks for your continued support,
