From Strength to Significance | Tim Shaw | TEDxNashville

Hear Tim’s inspirational story from NFL athlete to terminal diagnosis. The Tennessee Titans linebacker shares how to turn adversity into opportunity and live every day to the fullest. As linebacker and Special Teams Captain for the Tennessee Titans, Tim Shaw was known for his speed, hard-hitting ability, and enthusiastic leadership skills. His seven years in the NFL included seasons with the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Chicago Bears, where he set a club record for special teams tackles. He was also named to the USA Today All-Joe Team, honoring the NFL’s unsung and underrated players. As a three-year starter and graduate of Penn State, Tim earned Academic All-American honors. He also holds an MBA from George Washington University, and is the author of "Blitz Your Life." Now an entrepreneur and investor, Tim is a frequent motivational speaker and supporter of ALS awareness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Life is unfair sometimes but what can we do? I like what Tim said that "You can drown yourself in grief, but every second spent grieving these loses will be time stolen what you do still have." It works for pretty much every moment, no matter if you have ALS or not.

I love this CLARENCEVILLE Power

[@Imtheone84]

I grew up with Tim. We went to Clarenceville together. He graduated in 02, me in 03. He comes from a great family of givers. His parents fostered many children. This man walked the walk. His brothers are great men too. God is using him.

[@jimmcqueen1534]

Known Tim since 3rd grade when he was in Ms Cox's class at Grandview. He was in a wheel chair with a leg injury, I think broken foot? Anyways I never heard of his parents fostering others, but there's a lot we don't know about people. I finally got to play football with him in 8th grade, and we were undefeated 6-0. He was like a professional player among amateurs literally at that point. Trojans 4 life.
