Friday, September 20th at 6 pm our Guest Speaker is Shae McNamara, Life Coach and Professional American Athlete in Pro Basketball and Australian Rules Football.  He'll speak on “Creating Action in your Life by Following Your Dreams and Your Goals”.

Shae, an American from Milwaukee, played NCAA basketball in the US and in Pro Basketball in Germany. He accepted a position to in Australia to play Australian Rules Football. Shae was one of the first Americans to play this sport professionally. The most popular sport in Australia, it combines rugby, soccer and basketball. The ball is made of kangaroo skin and the field is oval. What a crazy game where you use other players as ladders to get to the ball!

He now shares his experiences with others to help them reach their potential and deal with change in a positive way.   When he was playing he had the nickname "Big Diamond" thanks to his height and his potential as an athlete. 

Today Shae is a Life Coach and shares his experience to inspire others to reach their full potential.  He has a degree in Psychology and Social Work from Marist College.  In January 2014, his book "The Diamond State of Mind" will be published.
