"Fred Bowen's enthusiasm for reading and writing comes across whenever he speaks to teachers and students. He inspires us to inspire our students. He uses the lessons that are learned from sports to develop readers' and writers' interests. I became a sports fan and a cheerleader for reluctant readers and writers while I was listening to Fred Bowen speak to teachers."
Annette Conley,
President,
Virginia Beach Reading Council
"Fred's presentation at our conference was both informative and humorous. The attendees especially liked his entertaining delivery and stories from real life. They also like his enthusiasm and very much appreciated his knowledge about his subject, "How to Turn Sports-Crazy Kids into Lifelong Readers." Their evaluations were overwhelming positive. I, too, greatly enjoyed his presentation and was very pleased that I had arranged his visit to our conference."
Cheryl Evans
VP of Children's Services Division
Maryland Library Association
"Fred Bowen was a delight to have as the luncheon speaker at the National Council of Youth Sports Leadership Training Conference. He spoke to a room full of America's top youth sports administrators, weary of the constant battle over escalating violence and rage, pervasive lawsuits, demanding parents, poorly prepared coaches, dwindling volunteer support and scarce resources. He spoke directly to the hearts of these folks and reminded them of the positive experiences sports bring to children. Through his anecdotes, he painted a beautiful picture of how sports can fulfill the everyday dreams of children and prepares them for the future. He touched their souls and gave them the strength to continue to advocate the values of youth sports and to keep on delivering those positive experiences to America's children."
Wanda L. Rutledge
President National Council of Youth Sports
