More Testimonials of coach Bill Lam's Ability to Lead
“It has been nearly 25 years since I wrestled for Bill Lam at University of North Carolina, yet his impact still influences me daily in my life as a lawyer. There is no quit in what I do! I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from Bill how to set the bar high and then how to get over it. In a word, how to win! Bill Lam is truly a winner, a motivator and a teacher capable of getting those around him to perform at their maximum capacity. For the lazy, whining, weak at heart: stay away from him. For the warrior, make sure you have him on your side!” |

“Having Bill Lam speak to any group would really be the first step toward great improvement. Bill has great gifts of enthusiasm and humor, and these gifts coupled with his motivational messages will be outstanding for any group. I strongly feel that, after listening to Bill speak, the group will be much more energized than they have ever been, they will be more focused than they have ever been and they will look back on it as truly a wonderful experience.” |

“Coach Lam taught us that success is not granted or given, but earned with sustained effort over time. We worked harder than those we competed against and we believed it. When you mentally acknowledge that you have put in the time, the effort and the sacrifices to be successful, you do not settle for second best. In the business world, everyone is smart (or you should assume so). Success goes to the one better prepared for the job at hand.” |
David Cooke County Manager Wake County, N.C. |
“Coach Lam’s leadership, dedication and worth ethic in fostering the athletic, academic and personal development of his student-athletes led to his teams tremendous success year in and year out. Bill exemplifies the type of coach who can demand hard work from his athletes, and in return gets their life-long respect and loyalty.” |

| "To this day I still use our goal-setting workbooks for all of my employees. If I can show my employees one-tenth of what you showed me by your examples then I will have been a successful leader. Thanks, Coach Lam. You taught me more than you even know.” | Joe Silvestro |
| “Bill Lam used a fantastic blend of passion, common sense and humor to make his points and motivate my people. His winning attitude permeated my team and left us on an incredible high. It has been said that the effect of a motivational speaker is fleeting. Bill, however, struck a chord which we have referenced many times in the months since his visit.” | Lonny C.
