My Favorite TED Talk is titled “An NFL quarterback on overcoming setbacks and self-doubt”. This TED Talk is given by Alex Smith, former Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins quarterback. I really enjoyed this TED Talk because Alex Smith was a favorite football player of mine, and I have followed his story very closely. In 2018, Smith suffered a life threatening injury during a game, when his leg literally snapped. Smith talks about the hardships of overcoming the injury, and the mental strength it took to keep going. The inspiring thing about his story is that he made it all the way back to the NFL after doctors told him he would never walk again.
When it comes to my evolving ideas research paper, I have not given too much thought on what my topic is going to be. If anything, I might talk about societal evolution or something that I can relate to.
This sounds like a really interesting Ted Talk! It definitely helps when the talks are on a topic or person that you’re interested in, and that seems to be the case of this one for you. As for your project ideas, something regarding societal evolution or something you’re personally able to relate to sound very interesting, and I look forward to seeing your ideas develop!
John, Your idea sounds as though it has the potential to turn into something great, and I am excited to hear whatever it is that you come up with. Additionally, the Ted Talk that you chose sounds so inspiring, and I understand why you selected this specific one as the one that peaks your interest. Alex Smith seems as though he is a great role model, and someone that people are lucky to look up to. Great Job!
This ted talk seems so interesting! Alex smith knows how to hold the attention of his audience, and this ted talk is a great example of this.
