Building Character through Sports | Jorge Lee | TEDxHIllsboroughLibrary

What is our priority when encouraging our kids to get involved in sports? Jorge Lee makes the case that no matter which sport, character development with emphasis on qualities such as kindness, discipline, focus, respect and loyalty, is much more important than having winning be the ultimate goal.

As Chief Instructor and Director of Operations, Jorge Lee oversees curriculum development and instructor training for over 200 students of ATA Legacy Martial Arts in Hillsborough, NJ. While ATA certainly has an impressive number of State, District and World Champion titles, Mr. Lee believes the success of his school is not due to its winning record but to the focus on developing character and conduct through martial arts lessons. A martial arts student of over 25 years Mr. Lee is currently in the final year of training for the title of Master Instructor in the style of Songahm Taekwondo.
