Ted: “I think that knowledge is not only the running. That’s one
component. The skill is what they learn from that for the future, and
also in education and how to overcome adversity and these kinds of
things.

Curtis: “My coach, Ted Jaleta, has been a mentor to me.

Maxine: “Ted is an incredible man. He is a real strong force. The kids know he cares and he cares about them as the entire person.

Maxine: “If you study anything about self-confidence, one of the best ways to build your own self-confidence is to encourage others and help them feel successful.”
