Keynote Speaker for An Evening of Recovery Announced

This year's keynote speaker for the National Recovery
Month Event, "An Evening of Recovery" will be Mark
Potter. Potter has been a head men's basketball coach for
the past 30 years. Potter began coaching at Cheney High
School in 1987. He led the Cardinals to two state tour-
nament appearances. Potter then headed to Kapaun Mt.
Carmel High School where he also led them to a state
tournament appearance. At Potter's third high school
tenure, South High School, the team finished third in
the state tournament. After only one year at South High
School, Potter accepted the challenge to restart the
men's basketball program at Newman University after an 11-year hiatus. In
the second year of the young program's existence, Potter's team made their
first national tournament appearance. After 10 years competing at the NAIA
level, Potter again lead the Newman Jets as they made the transition to the
NCAA Division II level. Potter has the most victories and highest winning
percentage in Newman University's program history. Potter coached over
800 games during his 30 year tenure. His teams have been successful at all
levels. He was named coach of the year five times and has been named top
15 most influential people in the Wichita sports world. He was recently in-
ducted into the Wichita Sports Hall of Fame.

He recently left the coaching profession to pur-

sue his passion for educating and motivating
people from all occupations. Potter speaks on
many topics including motivation and mental
toughness, but his greatest passion lies in his
personal battle with severe depression. Twelve
years ago, Potter knew something wasn't right
and he began a downward spiral into a world
of darkness. Potter missed eight games and 25
practices due to severe depression. Since that
time, he has been on a crusade to educate people
about depression and encourage others suffer-
ing from mental illness to seek assistance. His
passion is to share his story in hopes that people
