CUBS GAME

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

CUBS GAMECUBS GAMECUBS GAMELast weekend I got the honor of throwing out the first pitch at the game, and then the singing of the 7th Inning Stretch. Something that kids from Iowa, where everyone is a Cubs fan, always dreams of. Check out the pictures, and enjoy the video.

I got a ton of advice on how to throw the pitch, how I had to aim high, because of the mound, but my goal was to throw it 90. Lets just say it didn’t quite go like I wanted, but I had a great time, so thanks to all the fans and everyone I met for a great day.

A VERY ENCOURAGING STORY

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

COURAGE-GIRLS“Fear does not rule you. Be willing to face uncertainty, intimidation, even rejection, for the sake of what you believe in.

“

I wanted to share with you my Seer story:) I actually sent the Honor shirt to my “little sister” who I help support in Romania. She is at risk for being abandoned by her parents to an orphanage because they are so poor. Anyway, she loves the shirt (told me she’s worn it about every day for a week now!) and the meaning you guys have for Honor- she told me reading that in the shirt made her want to make me proud of her, so she’s going to try to do the right thing even though it means she will most definitely be standing alone, and that scares her. So, I was touched by that for sure and wanted to share it with you and just say thanks for making shirts that are actually inspiring these kids to think about what’s really right and true…it really affected my girl to think about that anyway and she was beyond happy to get such a cool shirt. She even asked if I could send her another one so she could give it to a friend. I love that:)- from a good friend.

LETTER TO THE JAZZ FANS

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Hey Jazz fans! Just wanted to take a couple minutes and say thank you for everything you guys have done for me these past 2.5 years. I honestly had no idea what to expect when I came here. My Grandpa Korver always tells me, when you pray, expect the unexpected. Well, Utah was very unexpected! But man…. but you guys have helped make these past seasons the most enjoyable of my career.

I have a lot of respect for everyone associated with the Jazz. They run a 1st class organization and I am very grateful for the opportunity that they gave me. I feel like I grew as a player and as a person while I was here..and I think that has to do a lot with the company that you keep.

Several other things came up in Utah besides the Jazz. Seer Group and Seer Clothing are the results of the efforts of lots of people here. It is our intention for Seer Group to continue in SLC for many years to come. There are several purposes for our foundation, but one of the biggest ones is to say thank you. So, thank you to this community for all you’ve been and done for me and my family. See you guys next year. When the schedule comes out, I’ll have that Jazz game circled!
