NEW BOOK
YOU AIN'T THE BOSS OF ME
It's ya boy ET and man; I am so excited about this book! You Ain't The Boss of Me is a gamechanger for students, teachers, and parents alike! Being misunderstood by others is a terrible thing. Not knowing who you are or what you can do, and not being able to explain why is even worse! You Ain't the Boss of Me is positioned to educate us all on who we are, who our students, children, classmates are and, how we can all succeed once we know how to play to our strengths by identifying and avoiding our weaknesses!
Every kid has the promise of greatness within them — every single one. The key to nurturing that greatness is knowing each child's unique approach to learning. I'll be honest with you. If you coached football and ran the same plays every game, every week, every season, you'd get beat daily. The best coaches learn their squad's strengths then mix and match their plays to bring out the best in their team. Great teachers do the same. By identifying a kid's unique approach to learning, their "superpower," teachers are better able to coach their students to greatness! Unfortunately, most kids don't even know that they have a superpower and, that's where "You Ain't The Boss Of Me" comes in. Every student CAN succeed! They just need the right tools to make that happen. Every child wants to achieve greatness; it's our job to teach them how.
I firmly believe if you don't know you can fly, you'll always think you can't.

Join The Movement!
The School Days Foundation is a 501 c 3 tax deductible organization that allows us to bring our services to schools across the globe for free. The Foundation’s mission is to enforce quality education by changing school culture one classroom at a time by providing students, teachers, and parents with the services and curriculum we provide along with incentives to help motivate and engage students and our teachers who lead them.
After which, they all came away more empowered and dedicated to doing their respective parts in ensuring every student experienced a measure of educational success.
The thought of motivation and education being a natural fit for me was very easy to see as I am a former coach. Therefore, when I discovered Eric Thomas' "When You Want To Succeed As Bad As You Want To Breathe" video in 2010, I knew I had to find some way to introduce it to all of the stakeholders at my school.
​
I have successfully implemented ETA videos, books, posters, and grind gear at three title one elementary schools in Texas over the past six years. Of which, all have each seen a tremendous upward shift in their student's performance. The use of motivational tools provided by Eric Thomas in my estimation has been a major factor in that positive upward trend.
​
Additionally, we have instituted in-depth video and book studies with our students, teachers, staff, and parents. After which, our teachers, staff, and parents all came away more empowered and dedicated to doing their respective parts in ensuring every student experienced a measure of educational success. I would highly recommend using the ETA Educational Empowerment series to empower every stakeholder that's involved with your school!

If you want the students and teachers at your school to take ownership and achieve more, Dr. Thomas is the man.

If you want students and teachers at your school to take more ownership and achieve more, Dr. Thomas is the man.
I met ET while on a quest to meet this man that so positively changed my son's outlook on life. Now, after working with Dr. Thomas and seeing him interact with students of all ages, I understand how his heartfelt and passionate message breaks through all the noise and inspires people to take charge and improve their lives!

Eric is highly motivational, engaging, and real.
Eric Thomas came to our high school and the impact felt among teachers and students was immediate! Eric is highly motivational, engaging, and real. Students wouldn't let Eric walk out of the door as so many wanted to talk to him. Currently, we follow Eric online to continue utilizing and experiencing his influence. I would highly recommend Eric Thomas to visit your school.
