Recognizing Pete Carroll's Legacy

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pete Carroll's contributions to the Seattle Seahawks and the people of Seattle during his 14-year tenure as head coach. Throughout his tenure, the Seahawks had a 137-89-1 regular season record, 10 playoff appearances and a Super Bowl XLVIII victory to conclude the unforgettable 2013 season.

Coach Carroll prioritized a positive team culture that he described as ``. . . trying to help people find their best, one person at a time.'' His exemplary leadership philosophy has been referenced and used to develop mindset training for Air Force cadets and for companies throughout Washington State. I would also like to commend Coach Carroll's service to the Pacific Northwest through his Amplify Voices initiative and philanthropic efforts.

Coach Carroll is the winningest coach in the history of the Seattle Seahawks and has made a significant impact in our community--both on and off the field--over the past 14 years. On behalf of Washington's 7th Congressional District, I would like to recognize Pete Carroll's work as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and his many accomplishments.
