Following a successful basketball career which includes playing professionally in Europe, I was injured and prematurely forced into one of the most difficult changes at the prime of my athletic career; I was unemployed and had to walk away from something I loved. In good company, as 100% of professional athletes ultimately experience job termination, one can either succumb to the change and adversity - like 75% of pro players who are broke within two years - or rise above the challenges and develop new strategies for success. I decided to refocus my resources into completing a master's degree following my return from Europe. Armed with an advanced degree in behavior sciences, I've ultimately become a counselor and consultant for world class athletes as they transition from sports icons to the next phase of their careers.
Now, I passionately use my experiences and proven system to catapult high caliber athletes to success during the most difficult phase of their professional careers. One of my goals is to help them avoid the devastating statistics associated with this change: 25% are bankrupt within the first year of this transition from sports; 60% of NBA players are broke within five years of this transition; over 75% of NFL players are broke within two years of this transition; and up to 80% experience divorce. Needless to say, this transition for world class athletes can be a disaster.
What can I do for you?
I can bring my system of achieving SUCCESS while managing change and adversity to your business or organization. I will help your audience navigate the constant change of today’s business and social environment. I can help your Leaders and Team acquire clearer Goals while igniting their passion and purpose.
I currently reside in Metro Detroit with my wife and two young daughters where I'm a keynote speaker, Internationally Certified Sports Counselor, best-selling author, TV host/executive producer, advisory panel member for the International Sports Professionals Association, business owner, and consultant to world class athletes. Despite my extremely busy schedule I enjoy sharing my time and resources with many charities. My favorites include the Volunteers of America - Michigan, the annual MIND OVER MATTER Bike Event for the Alzheimer's Association, CURVES for the CURE Breast Cancer Event, and many local Youth Assistance organizations.
My FROM GLORY DAYS TV SHOW is now syndicated and past episodes can be found on the Sports Illustrated website (SI Video Vault).
