Coach Special – The Rebound

Curtis Sliwa – The Rebound

This week Coach Doherty discusses leadership with Curtis Sliwa. Curtis is a lifelong American activist and the founder of the Guardian Angels, a crime prevention organization in New York City. In the late 70’s then mayor Ed Koch had to eliminate police officers on subways at night and a group of diverse men, led by Curtis wearing his trademark red beret, all versed in karate but unarmed, roamed the subways to keep them safe. Along the way Sliwa started a broadcast career for over 30 years, was targeted by the mafia in New York City, and also ran for mayor. The Guardian Angels are now in 140 cities in 14 countries serving as the largest unarmed crime prevention organization in the world.
