Overview
Interviewing for his first teaching job, and armed with an advanced degree, Jeff Astor confidently walked into the principal's office and told the men in charge why he thought he thought he'd make a great teacher. When the vice principal curtly excused himself, Jeff was a little surprised. When shortly thereafter the principal called an abrupt end to the interview and asked, "Would you like to add anything?" Jeff was miffed. Feeling a little panicked, he said, "Well, I was captain of the college baseball team." Suddenly, the elderly principal called the vice principal back into the office and said proudly, "Our friend didn't tell us that he was captain of his baseball team." Thus began Jeff's post-sports professional career, one in which he discovered that his athletic prowess and sports knowledge could help him win more friends and influence more people than anything else.
