San Mateo Police Deputy Chief Mike Callagy spoke to Serra High School students last week about the importance of teamwork.
Returning to his alma mater, Callagy compared playing sports to the game of life.
"By playing sports, you learn how to support each other,” he said. "You learn how to win and how to lose. It’s a lot like life. I have learned more about myself from my failures than from my victories.”
Serra students were impressed by the deputy police chief’s message.
"I enjoyed the fact that he is a Padre and could relate to us,” said junior Wes Starr. "He made us think about the bigger picture.”
