Speaker "Think of yourself as an athlete. I guarantee you it will change the way you walk, the way you work, and the decisions you make about leadership, teamwork, and success."- MBN |

As a former Stanford and professional basketball player, the author of five books, and a national expert on sports, success, and leadership, I use my 26 "athletic essentials" (from my new book, We Are All Athletes), audience participation, video, and lots of humor to give athletes and other sports professionals the motivation and tools they need to lead and succeed with confidence, commitment, courage, and compassion. A lifelong athlete and advocate for girls and women in sports, I believe that sports participation fundamentally changes how girls and women walk, talk, take risks, team with others, and interact with the world. Sports empower women, teaching them to be courageous, confident, and committed to excellence. In a society that still gives girls the message that they should be dainty, delicate, decorative, and deferential, sports offer an alternative, and an antidote to the poor self-esteem and physical shame that plague many nonathletic girls. I believe that all of us, regardless of gender, and regardless of athletic background, can benefit from seeing ourselves as athletes, developing our physical intelligence, and learning to walk through the world with an athlete's courage, confidence, and commitment to excellence. I challenge people to "play their own game," and to bring the principals of teamwork, goal-setting, fairness, fun, and celebration into the workplace.
