COLLEGE BASKETBALL SPORTS MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS

Arrow
top

College basketball is a sport that captivates millions of people who have a strong affinity for a particular college, university, or athletic conference. Hiring a known college basketball name for your event can be the perfect way to bring your guests closer to the action whether that is a Final Four party (see our work with legendary Virginia center Ralph Sampson) or if it is a legendary coach (see our work with Coach John Calipari) talking about the X's and O's of leadership, teamwork, and how to handle pressure. Contact one of our booking agents to get more information on fees and availability for any well know former or current college basketball coach or player.

Coach John Calipari Talking To Parker Hannifan

Audience:
300+
Location: Lexington, Kentucky
Client: Parker Hannifan

Coach Calipari has led many teams to amazing NCAA tournament wins and led The University of Kentucky to a national title win. A very good recruiter, Coach Cal knows what type of person it takes to build a winning team and the importance of everyone doing their job to get the most out of your team. His motivational speech was quite empowering especially having a "UK Crowd" with a Lexington, Kentucky based event. Coach Cal also took photos with guests and signed his book afterwards. To secure Coach Calipari for your next keynote speaking engagement or appearance booking please contact a Direct Sportslink agent.
