There have been many inspiring stories this year in college football but few touched me as much as the following video.
On Tuesday evening, September 17th, 21-year-old Maria Elizabeth Tiberi was tragically killed in an automobile accident in Hilliard, OH. Maria is the daughter of Dom Tiberi, a local sports anchor for WBNS-TV.
Mr. Tiberi has covered Ohio State football for 30 years. When he returned to work on Saturday, September 28th to cover the game against Wisconsin, the team welcomed him back in a touching way. Watch the video below and then I will have a few comments afterwards.
- 87 Hugs from players and staff does not happen by accident.
- In the midst of a big game the team still had the awareness to take a moment to comfort a hurting person.
- This video caused me to self-evaluate. Why do I think I am often too busy to show compassion to those in need? I need to be just as intentional about showing compassion.
- Many times, words are not necessary to comfort a hurting person. Often just being present makes all the difference in the world.
- The people are always a picture of the leader. I am very, very impressed with the type of program Urban Meyer is building and culture he is creating.
- The Power Of Investment – Tiberi has supported the Ohio State program for three decades. When he needed it most, the program was there to support him.
