People walk away with the realization that if Mike can do it, so can they!

Mike is the only wheelchair basketball player in the United States to compete and earn medals in four consecutive Olympic games. Mike's life story earned the "Special People Award" by the American Medical Association and he is listed by the State of Utah as one of its Top 50 Athletes of the Past Century. Mike Schlappi has proven that "If You Can't Stand Up, Stand Out!"

Mike knows that the most important part of any meeting or organization is the people. Whether speaking to a global financial corporation or a community medical facility, he has seen their results change when the beliefs of their people change. He inspires real people, with real problems, to respond differently; teaching that attitude is not a mood, but a position we take regardless of circumstances. That is his specialty!

Obviously Mike has had a few challenges in his life. But he also has a few Olympic gold medals, a few college degrees, has written a few books, runs a few successful businesses, has a few passions and has a few kids (five to be exact). This is all possible because he "walks the talk" (or rolls the scroll).
