Inky Johnson is a motivational speaker and former college
football player for the University of Tennessee. His football
career ended in 2006 with an injury that permanently paralyzed his
right arm. Since this injury, he has used this to help motivate and
lead others wherever they are in life. In our youth programs we
should be thinking of new ways to lead and inspire our campers and
teams. Inky is the perfect person to deliver a message to start a
staff meeting, training, or devotion. You can find him anywhere on
social media including his YouTube page
at https://www.youtube.com/user/InkyDJohnson. I have included
one of my favorite posts that you can steal and use that I saw on
Twitter! Video clips are a great way to engage your audience. They
get to take a break from you talking and a chance to reflect so
they can answer questions and begin to have dialogue with one
another.
If someone has to convince you how important and valuable the
opportunity it is…. It might not be for
you. pic.twitter.com/ScBLGCn0Hl

Questions To Ask The Group From This Short Video Clip…
1. Have you ever wanted something but you didn’t put in the
effort?
2. Why is it hard to put in the effort? Did you actually want
it?
3. Have you ever thought you wanted something, but you changed
your mind? Why did you change your mind?
4. What does this quote mean to you? “You can’t be who you want
to be and who you used to be at the same time.”
5. What does this quote mean to you? “Sacrifice is the
prerequisite to growing.”
You can ask any questions, these five can be your guide. This
type of message is geared towards older campers and staff. I
wouldn’t suggest this for younger campers as the content and
questions are deeper.
