In his latest TA Talk, Middle School history teacher and coach Danny Seymour shared a story of resilience, leadership and finding purpose in the unexpected.

After a serious baseball injury during his senior year at Middlebury College changed his athletic career, Danny discovered that the leadership and connection he built with his teammates had a lasting impact — ultimately inspiring him to become an educator.
