On Wednesday, January 15th, OP welcomed motivational speaker and teacher Gian Paul Gonzalez to OP to speak with our students. Gian Paul gained acclaim after speaking to the NY Giants the night before their game on Christmas Eve in 2011. The next day after Gian Paul’s chapel message the Giants beat the Jets 29-14. In a post game interview, Giant’s Defensive End, Justin Tuck credited Gian Paul's message of being “All In” as the reason the Giants won that day. The team went on to win every game, up to and including Super Bowl XLVI, where they beat the New England Patriots 21-17. His message of "All In" has been embraced by professional & college sports teams, Forbes 500 Corporations, and even the Army, Air Force & FBI.
