Here’s more about David Cooks:
"David's journey from the playgrounds of Milwaukee to Cameron Indoor stadium and beyond, is captivating and provides a framework to find a new perspective and to build a life filled with passion and purpose. GETTING UNDRESSED is inspiring and proof that you can win in life, regardless of the circumstances." - Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach, Men's Basketball, Duke University
I am David Cooks, a Keynote Speaker, Author, Business Coach and former Basketball Coach. I am a T-6 paraplegic and a wheelchair user.
Life didn't stop for me after losing my ability to walk at age 15...it was just beginning. The beginning of many life lessons and principles on Leadership, Teamwork and Perserverance, that can be shared with organizations and individuals alike. "Getting Undressed-From Paralysis to Purpose" is a byproduct of that journey.
I am convinced that nothing, including paralysis, can stop anyone from succeeding in life and most importantly, in making a positive difference in the lives of others."
