Featuring Keynote Speaker, Mike Schlappi. Nationally known Gold Medalist, author and speaker Mike Schlappi will inspire you with his message of how your life can be defined by what you can do instead of what you can’t do. At the age of 14, Mike dreamed of a career in sports. A gunshot wound to the chest challenged his dreams. He would never walk again. After months of physical therapy, he began playing basketball from his wheelchair and went on to become a standout athlete. Mike Schlappi’s thought-provoking presentation challenges people of all ages to realize that despite difficult circumstances, you can take responsibility and be empowered.
