Sam Jackenthal and Woodward
As Sam used to say, “There are only two things in life we can control, our attitude and our activity.” Woodward taught Sam how to elevate both.
Live Like Sam exists to honor the legacy of Sam’s character by helping other young athletes excel not only in sport, but also in life. While Sam was an extraordinary person and gracious by nature, the affect Woodward had on his attitude, gratitude and overall outlook on life cannot be overstated. Woodward helped shape Sam into a young man that others wanted to follow – a young man that exemplified the power of positive reinforcement and creative personal progression – and it continues to turn young athletes into remarkable competitors and even better people.
Woodward offers young athletes an environment in which they can push their limits, test the boundaries and go big. During his training at camp, Sam learned that perseverance and dedication are necessary to succeed, and that failing is simply part of progressing. He learned to never give up and to have fun in the process.
All of these lessons can be attributed to two things: Woodward’s incredible staff and the culture they have cultivated. Year after year, Woodward’s team members share their amazing talents, character and spirit with impressionable young athletes in search of positive role models.
