BE SOMEONE Spring Break Chess Camp - April 4 to April 8, 2011
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
We've featured Orrin Checkmate Hudson, 'Master Motivator Teacher and Mentor,' earlier on www.chessblog.com. Here is latest news from him.
He will hold his annual Spring Break Leadership Chess Camp from Monday, April 4 through Friday, April 8, 2011 in Stone Mountain, Georgia. This week long leadership camp will be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with early drop-off and late pickup available. Hudson will use his signature chess skills and abilities as he offers information, insight and advice on the importance of making every move in life count.
Hudson has trained more than 20,000 students and his goal is to reach one million youngsters as he continues to train new teachers/motivators to spread the positive life lessons learned through the game of chess. Hudson is a believer in the 'pay it forward' concept.
"I was a young know-it-all teenager in Alabama and I was on the road to certain destruction and possibly even a premature death, " he readily admits. "But I had a teacher who saw potential in me, I'm not sure what that was, but he taught me the game of chess." Hudson is quick to say that seemingly simple act "saved my life."
"By using the game of chess, my teacher showed me that for every move I make on the chess board there are consequences," he adds. Hudson then stresses what is the bottom line of this game. "I not only learned how to play chess but I also gained self-esteem and realized I could be someone if only I chose the right moves in my life."
Hudson went on to serve as an Alabama State Trooper but later realized his true calling. "I knew I had to give back. I saw too many young African American males headed down the wrong path - gangs, drugs, crime, sexual irresponsibility, no education and focus -, the same path I was on until someone cared enough to set me straight." Hudson deftly uses the thinking man's game of chess to both teach and mentor at the same time. It is a combination that is both effective and unobtrusive.
