About Joe Theismann
Joe Theismann played his college ball at the University of Notre Dame. In 1971 he was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins and in the 39th round of the MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins. This was an unbelievable feat, and showed the true athleticism of Theismann. However, he chose to pursue a career in neither the NFL or MLB, and after negotiations with the Dolphins fell through he played in the CFL from 1971 to 1973.
In 1974 he finally joined the NFL as a member of the Washington Redskins, where he played for the remainder of his professional career. In 1983 he helped the Redskins to a Super Bowl Championship after winning his second consecutive NFL MVP Award. In addition to being named one of the 70 Greatest Redskins of all-time he was honored with induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003.

Speaking Topics & Expertise
Game Plan for Success
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 Theismann focuses on how to succeed under pressure—when it's "4th and 1"—and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations—when you're 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 momentum, which, once on your side, would be hard for even the best "defense" to stop!
Challenge of Change
Drawing from personal experience, Joe Theismann knows how to deal with the Challenge of Change. On November 18, 1985, he was on top of his game—a two-time Pro Bowl player and the most productive quarterback in the history of the Washington Redskins. Later that evening, he found himself in a hospital bed with a compound fracture to his leg, shattering both his career and his boyhood dream. At age thirty-five, he was faced with starting over his personal life and professional career. In this stirring presentation, individuals and organizations learn how to tackle change by keeping a positive mental outlook and committing to a vision that guides you to the top.
Managing to Win!
In his charismatic and entertaining style, Joe Theismann draws parallels between his successful career as an NFL quarterback and YOU—the executive, manager, salesperson, group, or individual—with the goal of Managing to Win! He knows and understands that good management and effective leadership is not a game of follow the leader: It is about PEOPLE—listening to them... trusting them... and motivating individuals to take ownership of team goals. By example, Joe Theismann shows that an effective leader cares about and trusts subordinates and demonstrates it by empowering individuals to take risks in order to perform above levels that have become comfortable.
