Locker Room Speakers Mission

Impacting lives while creating new opportunities for athletes to lead

Locker Room Speakers is impacting lives while expanding opportunities for athletes to lead beyond sports. Athletes have the potential to be the best leaders on the planet, and nothing brings people together like sports. All the lessons we need to succeed in life can be found in sports. We use those lessons and the powerful life stories of athletes to empower kids to reach their full potential.

Leadership is influence

Use your athlete influence to make a difference

John Maxwell is America's #1 expert, author, and thought leader on the topic of leadership. According to  John, "The accurate measurement of leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less". The influence of athletes in our culture is undeniable. Athletes play sports for a relatively short period of time, but their influence and leadership ability extend far beyond sports. We help athletes continue to grow, excel, and lead beyond sports to create a cycle of leaders creating more leaders.

Making a difference in the lives of youth

The gameplan is simple - inspire and equip kids to win

Goal #1: Inspire kids to dream and believe that more is possible


Goal #2: Equip kids with life skills, habits, and character traits they need to win in life

All athletes are role models, because the kids are watching and learning from your behavior. What type of role model will you choose to be? What type of attitudes and behavior will you inspire in young people? Our speakers help young people develop character, habits, and life skills that will last a lifetime and become the building blocks for a happy, productive, and impactful life.
