JAKE McCANDLESS ’51 SPEAKER SERIES

Princeton

squash alums Jeff Ingold ’90 and Ted Price ’90 returned to campus this spring as featured guests of the Jake McCandless ’51 PVC Speaker Series. The two alums shared lessons in resiliency that they learned as student-athletes and the challenges they overcame on their paths to becoming popular video game (Ted Price) and television producers (Jeff Ingold). They encouraged students to identify and chase their passions and take risks without the fear of failure when navigating career journeys.

“I love talking to athletes because they understand that nothing is impossible. They come into the company understanding that it doesn’t matter how tough that challenge seems we’ll get through it because we’ve done it on the field before. And they also understand team dynamics. They understand that you’ve got to resolve conflict before you walk on the field or before you ship a product. Those are the kinds of things that you have to do naturally on a team, and I think it makes athletes well suited in taking risks.”
