GAF Materials Corporation was looking for a speaker with an inspirational story and there might not be a greater story than Vince Papale making the Philadelphia Eagles team while working as a local bartender idolizing the team. Of course, Vince's story turned into the widely popular movie Invincible. Vince's speech is full of real life inspiration, determination, motivation and ways to attack your everyday life for great success.

Client Testimonial
Direct Sportslink really helped us out of a jam. Our speaker for an awards banquet cancelled at the last minute. Our theme for the banquet was basketball so not only were we in need of a replacement but the sports speaker needed to be in the professional basketball field. Direct Sportslink saved us - not only did they come through with a well-known basketball player, but they gave us several options. Our employees couldn't stop raving about Muggsy Bogues. Direct Sportslink made it easy to do business at the last minute. Their professionalism and willingness to help us during a pinch is invaluable. We won't hesitate to do business with them again.
