HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Robin's presentation for high school students is an action-packed tale that sends his audiences away with something to think about and ponder long after the program ends. He challenges them to look at what success and winning really mean, and leaves them with a lasting impression of the value of achievement.

More than anything else, high school and students are looking for freedom and independence. Robin's presentation highlights how dreams and goals, a positive attitude and a "can do" spirit can move students onto the fast track towards controlling their own destinies...successfully.

The power of positive thoughts and actions is key to successful decision making and Robin's presentation shows students that challenges exist in all our daily lives. With the right mindset and responsible decision making we all have the potential to meet our daily challenges successfully.

For middle and high schools, Robin brings a choice of two presentations:

"As Good As It Gets":

Robin's sense of adventure, perseverance, determination, and "can do" attitude shine through in this message-rich program of spectacular pictures and stories from his life at sea.

"Who Dares - Wins":

An anti-tobacco and alcohol abuse reinforcement presentation, based on Robin's direct experience and observations from 20 years at sea, is set against the backdrop of his three solo Around the World sailboat races.

Robin has presented to assemblies of 1,000+ students, often at special gatherings, including career, unity, and character days. Conversely, he regularly speaks to single grades or small groups, depending on school size, as well as to alternative education groups.
