First, a quick look at upcoming Timpanogos Club meetings…
March 14–Larry Gelwix, the coach of the hugely successful Highland Rugby team of a few years ago, and currently the head of Columbus Travel (the “Getaway Guru”). In addition to the aforementioned topics, he wants to give an uplifting and inspirational motivational talk. Don’t miss it! (See below for more about this event.)
April 25–Tom Durham, a BYU music composition professor, who will talk about the new LDS hymn book hymns, and about prior hymn books. He is an excellent speaker, who will present many anecdotes about our hymns.
May 23--our musical evening with spouses. We are delighted this year to have Michelle Sundwall perform a medley of songs. Several of us have heard her sing before, and can attest to how good she is! A daughter of one of our Timp Club members, Michael Stevens, her performances are Broadway quality! We are in for a great treat!
LARRY GELWIX INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to welcome Larry Gelwix to our conference. For 36 years, Larry Gelwix served as the volunteer Head Coach of the Highland Rugby team. The team’s success, which produced a varsity win-loss record of 418 wins and just 10 loses in 36 years, including 20 national rugby championships, caught the attention of Hollywood which produced a major motion picture entitled “Forever Strong” which tells the true life story of Coach Gelwix and the Highland team. He was also featured in a 2012 documentary entitled, “Larry Gelwix: No Regrets” which won an Emmy Award for best documentary that year. Fox News and the national media have labeled Coach Gelwix as the “Winningest Coach in America.”
Coach Gelwix received his bachelors and masters degrees in Organizational Communications from Brigham Young University. Professionally, Larry’s career has been centered in the airline and travel industry, including time as CEO of an airline. He currently serves as CEO of Columbus Travel in Bountiful, hosts a syndicated radio talk show, and is a recognized leader in leadership and management coaching.
A popular convention and meeting speaker, Coach Gelwix has addressed conferences and seminars all across the country and around the world on the dynamics of leadership, developing winning strategies and attitudes, and championship companies and schools staffed by championship people. His appearances, corporate coaching, and keynotes include McDonalds, American Airlines, the IRS, Banana Republic, university commencements, and college and professional sports teams. Most recently, Larry spent a weekend with the Houston Astros, who won the 2017 World Series, coaching the players on developing and maintaining a winning attitude on and off the field and was the keynote speaker at Major League Baseball’s annual winter meeting convention in Las Vegas.
Please welcome Coach Larry Gelwix–the “winningest coach in America!” We are honored and lucky to have Larry Gelwix as our speaker!
