“Game Plan for Success”

Sponsored by California Class logo

This dynamic presentation outlines the game plan that brought Joe Theismann success both on and off the football field. Former NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl Champion, he reveals his Game Plan for Success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business. Joe focuses on how to succeed under pressure – when it is ”4th and 1,” and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations when you are faced with a “blitz” instead of a zone. He urges individuals and organizations to set goals and correct errors each step of the way—an approach that builds unstoppable momentum, making even the strongest opposition struggle to keep up.

With Brad Montgomery's authentic and innate humor, this program brings encouragement to life, illustrating its transformative potential for personal and organizational growth.
