ROSS BERNSTEIN
MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER AND BEST-SELLING SPORTS AUTHOR
ROSS BERNSTEIN is the best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books and has appeared on thousands of TV and radio programs over his career, including CNN, NPR and ESPN, as well as on the covers of the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today. As an internationally recognized motivational keynote speaker, Ross uses inspirational sports stories as a metaphor for life and for business to energize and connect his audiences — challenging them to not just be ordinary, but to make a difference and be extraordinary.
From groups ranging in size from 25 to 2,500, Ross regularly speaks to corporations, sales teams and trade associations from coast to coast — specializing in the topics of “Values & Integrity” and “Passions & Legacies.” Ross’ action-packed keynotes are inspirational, memorable and fun. His PowerPoint presentations feature hundreds of huge color photos which are chock full of poignant stories, practical wisdom and valuable take-aways that audience members can bring back to the office and start applying immediately. As a conference opener, Ross sets the tone right out of the gates with his high energy and engaging stories; while as a closer he wraps-up on a high note — leaving attendees energized, inspired and ready to get back to work.
Ross offers three unique keynote programs, all of which can be customized to fit in with the exact theme of his client's event, and given at either 60 or 90 minutes in length. Oftentimes he will give one as an opening or closing keynote at a conference, and then do the other as a break-out — which is extremely popular and always gets rave reviews. Score a goal by booking Ross to keynote your next event, he would love the opportunity to be a member of your team for the day!
Ross and his wife Sara have one daughter and presently reside in Eagan, Minn. Ross also currently serves as the President of the Board of Directors of the Herb Brooks Foundation, a cause that is truly near and dear to his heart.
