Kevin Saunders – Overcoming Adversity
Lots of people like to talk about overcoming adversity, but few of them have lived it like Paralympian and motivational coach Kevin Saunders. From the depths of despair -- as a young man who saw his life shattered by a tragic accident, divorce, bankruptcy, and years of depression and abuse -- he raised himself up to become a true champion, Paralympian, and "the greatest all-around wheelchair athlete in the world."

While that might have been enough for even the most ambitious person, motivational coach and inspirational speaker Kevin Saunders didn't stop there. He built upon that success to break through, overcoming adversity to become a feature film actor, published author, renowned motivational speaker, part of Kansas State football’s legendary coaching staff as motivational coach, to having an award named after him for the Kansas State football team entitled “the Kevin Saunders Never Give Up Award”. Kevin was appointed to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports, was the first person with a disability appointed to the council by President Bush and the only person reappointed to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports by President Bill Clinton. Kevin was also an International Ambassador on Health & Fitness.

None of these achievements, however, have brought Kevin the satisfaction that sharing his story as a motivational coach, inspirational speaker, school speaker, college speaker, corporate speaker, safety speaker, church speaker and inspirational athlete has. Telling audiences, whether they’re businesses, schools and universities, associations, church groups, or sports teams about the lessons he’s learned has given him the opportunity to see thousands of lives transformed. He’s seen the power of his simple message – Never Give Up! – take hold in others who now have their own stories of success to tell.
