Speaking Topics

TOPIC #1 – THAT’S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME

This is a popular sports truism meaning that the game isn’t decided on paper. One team might have more talent and might be favored to win the game by oddsmakers, but when the game is actually played there is no certainty that the favorite will always win. After analyzing sports games for over 40 years, Stockton is a master at knowing how the best teams win by never underestimating their competition, being prepared and always doing their best. As one of the most recognized voices in sports, Stockton entertains and captivates his audiences with his unique ability to tell the stories behind many of the major sports happenings and the people who made them happen. He shares key lessons from successes and failures, and “That’s why they play the game to see who’ll win.”

TOPIC #2 – GREAT MOMENTS OF LEADERSHIP IN SPORTS

Drawing from his more than four decades of analyzing sports, Stockton observed how different approaches from the finest coaches and managers were instrumental in the success of teams that became champions. He provides his audience with best practices and tools they can utilize to move their own teams to success.

TOPIC #3 – ATTITUDE FOR SUCCESS

This dynamic presentation is the story of Stockton’s success in a highly-competitive business. How it all developed with twists and turns, highs and lows and ultimate belief in his ability to win. His valuable business lessons and positive mental attitude transcend sports.

“I will forever be thankful for the opportunity to work next to and along with Dick Stockton early in my career at the NFL on FOX. So much of what I do today in the booth was taught to me by Dick Stockton. Dick taught me so much about my craft; how to channel the knowledge and passion for the game that I possessed, and was effortless in his ability to always tee it up perfectly for me or whoever he has worked with. I know this, because I’ve heard it so many times from viewers and for myself, “when you turn on the TV and hear Dick Stockton, it always has that ‘big game’ feel.” Most of all I’m proud to call Dick a friend as he is a tremendous man.”

John Lynch , 15 yr NFL Player and current NFL on FOX analyst
