Bill Clark
Depending on age and profession (elementary, middle, high school, college, professional etc.), Bill weaves his presentations accordingly. Bill loves to share his stories from the Olympic Training Centers and his lessons learned from the greatest hall-of-fame coaches in the world. Bill’s “power of the mind” topic is one of his most requested and is sure to blow the audience away. Bill also speaks about the differences between success and excellence and why chasing success might actually be teaching you to fail.
Additionally, he speaks about the various paths and courses of life that each of us face and why choosing wisely determines the outcome. As Bill himself says, “Victory is cleverly hidden in the ability to problem solve, and defeat is cleverly hidden within temptation.” Bill teaches how to wake up each morning with power, and why motivation will help make your dreams a reality. Of course, there is so much more and Bill is always willing to incorporate a few feats of strength into his presentations and visit classrooms. Bill is happy to take pictures with people and they are allowed to hold his championship belt and wear one of his USA team jackets. Bill will spend the afternoon or morning with you and develop relationships with people that are sure to inspire and last.
