He showed me his TED talk. Here’s young teenager suffering from cancer, and he did a TED talk about it! That was amazing … how he could stand up there and talk to people and even crack jokes. He was so smart. He was not afraid. I just couldn’t believe it. The effort he was putting in, with his own life on the line, to try to help others, was just incredible. He really impacted me. I gave him my phone number, and we kept in touch.
Today was electric bro. The boys responded when they needed to. Your message was exactly what I needed.
Sean’s message had a lasting impact on our entire UA Girls Lacrosse program. His story as a cancer survivor brought a level of authenticity and perspective that truly resonated with our athletes. He spoke about the importance of being present, putting phones away, appreciating the people around you, and not taking moments for granted. Lessons that extend far beyond sports. Our girls walked away inspired, reflective, and more connected as teammates and individuals. Sean has a powerful ability to connect with young athletes in a genuine and meaningful way, and we are incredibly grateful he took the time to speak with our program.
On Friday before practice, our Worthington Kilbourne Wolves lacrosse team had the great pleasure to hear Sean Fredella speak on the lessons he has learned through his journey as a 4x pediatric cancer survivor. Our guys were riveted to Sean and his message was well received.
