About Locker Room Speakers
Locker Room Speakers is not just another speaker agency. Our mission is to create new leadership opportunities for former athletes, impact lives through storytelling and the unique power of sports and build a better future for kids. I believe in the power of the stories that our speakers have to share. Sports are unique in their ability to connect and inspire people. The platform of an athlete creates opportunities to impact and reach others. I believe that athletes have a lot to teach the world!

Objective 1: Create new opportunities for former athletes to lead
Athletes are leaders. Losing the game often means losing the opportunities to lead. We're helping former athletes continue to develop and grow as leaders!
Objective 2: Bring people together through the power of sports
People want to hear what athletes want to say and sports provides us all the lessons we need to succeed in life. Many people (including kids) will listen to a message from an athlete when someone without that platform might not reach them.
Objective 3: Impact lives through powerful and relatable stories
Our speakers have powerful personal stories. Some have succeeded despite incredible adversity and odds. Some have hit rock bottom and experienced tragedy. Stories connect with people and help them see what we have in common. They inspire and educate people who feel stuck and hopeless. Stories change lives
Objective 4: Create happier and healthier lives for kids by helping them learn to make better choices
Kids listen to athletes and athletes love to mentor and coach kids. Kids see themselves in athletes and athletes see themselves in kids. Kids aspire to be like athletes one day, and athletes remember what it's like to be a kid with a dream! We bring athletes to speak to schools and youth sports organizations. We also donate a portion of every booking made through Locker Room Speakers to the Pro Athletes Helping Kids Foundation as well a non-profit selected by each speaker. This creates free opportunities for kids to interact with athletes and develop habits and skills that lead them to make better choices and live happier and healthier lives!
