COMPETITORS FOR LIFE

WHAT MADE YOU SUCCEED ON THE FIELD WILL HELP YOU WIN OFF OF IT.

The transition from playing sports to life after is not an easy one for most athletes. Many struggle with an identity crisis and loss of routine, structure, and teammates that it can take many years for them to rebound.

In this talk, Jake shares his own struggles with alcohol, depression, and internalized pain after his sports career ended – and how he was eventually able to pull himself out by applying the skills he learned in sports to life outside of it.

Your team will be fired up to keep competing every day in their life off of the field and equipped with the mindset to win it.

KEY LESSONS

*You are more than your position

*Embrace your off-season

*Competition doesn’t end with your playing days

*Choose your teammates wisely

His topics were relevant & he really related to the athletes! I would highly recommend Jake if you are looking for someone to motivate your athletes or motivate your office workers!"

"We loved having Jake speak at our youth leadership events! He has been able to perfectly tailor his presentation to match our theme and messaging, and I’m always impressed with how relevant his advice is for the situation!"

"Jake kicked off our basketball season speaking to our team, coaches, athletic directors, and administrators. I spoke with Jake ahead of time about the background of our team, and the high expectations we have for them. He absolutely nailed it! His message spoke volumes to our players, coaches, and administration. He challenged our kids and taught them about competing in school, life, and sports. All of the information Jake shared is content we can continue to build upon throughout the season. I highly recommend you invite Jake to come motivate your team!"

“Jake is an awesome speaker. He kept the athletes, parents, and coaches engaged throughout it. These young ladies took a lot from the talk about being a better teammate and wanting to be remembered for that. He helped us realize that we are competing daily with the person in the mirror and wake up ready to be better than the day before. He is a great motivational speaker, came early, and stayed late and talked with some of the athletes individually who had some questions. It is a no brainer to have him come speak with your team."

"Our leadership students were inspired by the goal-setting workshop. Many of the students have referred to the goals they have set and are determined to achieve them."

“Jake was an inspirational speaker whom our students enjoyed very much. He is engaging and kept the students focused on his topic”
