Keynote Speaker
From Wounded Soldier to NFL Hero
From a soldier's uniform to an NFL player's uniform, Rocky Bleier imparts the life lessons that helped him overcome the trying circumstances that threatened to derail not only his career, but his life.
More than just one of America’s legendary athletes, Rocky Bleier is a man of deep courage and conviction, who was told he would never walk again after being wounded in Vietnam. Not only did he recover, but he overcame tremendous odds to become a legendary running back for the four-time world champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The subject of the book and feature film Fighting Back, Bleier is truly an inspiration to us all. Bleier uses the lessons learned on the playing field, in combat, and on the long road to recovery to illustrate how to keep a competitive edge, how to pull together as a team, and how to uncover hidden personal strengths. Whether it is career development for corporate executives, enhancing sales and marketing skills for sales teams, offering inspiration for young professionals or practical advice to student athletes, Bleier’s presentation consistently brings audiences to their feet and re-energizes them for personal and professional challenges ahead.
Rocky Bleier motivates audiences to keep on striving for greater accomplishments. His dynamic style is coupled with real-life stories that are told from a first person perspective. Those stories about his fabled comeback from Vietnam injuries to Super Bowl star are utterly inspiring for their courage and determination. He brings it together with a warm, self-reflective humor that audiences really relate to.
