Motivational Speaker,
Keynote Speaker Vince Papale's Biography:
NATIONALLY
KNOWN CELEBRITY SPEAKER:
From
Disney, the studio that brought you Miracle, The Rookie, and Remember
the Titans, comes INVINCIBLE, inspired by the true story of Vince
Papale, a man with nothing to lose who ignored the staggering odds and
made his dream come true.
When Dick Vermeil, head coach of Vince’s beloved hometown football team,
the Philadelphia Eagles,
hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it
was a waste of time…. no one good enough to play professional football
was going to be found in this way. Certainly no one like Vince – a
down-on-his-luck, 30-year old substitute teacher and part-time bartender
who never even played college football. But against these odds, Vince
made the team and soon found himself living every fan’s fantasy – moving
from those cheap seats in the upper deck to standing on the field as a
professional football player.
“Not often can a person see a film made about their own life’s journey,”
said Vince. “What’s even rarer is having that movie described as
inspirational, motivational, and giving hope. There’s a feeling of
intense pride and humility that, at times, is overwhelming.
“Invincible is not just my story but it can be anyone’s story as well.
It’s about having a dream and overcoming the odds, adversity, and
obstacles that go with making that dream come true. It’s about anybody
who was told they were an underdog or couldn’t do something, yet had the
tenacity to pay the price to make their dream come true. It’s about the
fulfillment of one’s life potential and the seizing of an incredible
opportunity.”
