Vince Papale Speaks To The GAF Attendees

Audience:
300+
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Client: GAF Materials Corporation

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. To secure Vince Papale for a speaking engagement please contact a Direct Sportslink booking agent for his fee and availability. You can also view our other work with Vince in our recent events area.
