During two incredible weeks in February 1980, 20 college kids headed to Lake Placid, New York, coached by one of the greatest motivators and task masters of all- time. During those two weeks they gave a discouraged America - a country unnerved by the plight of 52 hostages held by Iran - a renewed sense of pride in our country. Nothing matches the excitement, emotion and pride generated by the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team’s “Miracle on Ice” at the winter games.
Of all the goals scored and the excitement generated, one of the most lasting images of the euphoric celebration of the American players after they defeated Finland to capture the Gold Medal was that of goalie Jim Craig draped in the Stars and Stripes searching the crowd for his father.
This excitement was revisited at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah where Jim, along with his Miracle On Ice Teammates, lit the cauldron to begin the 19th Winter Olympic Games.
Now is the time to book 1980 Olympic hero Jim Craig for your motivational lecture, corporate meet and greet, promotional appearance, or Corporate Hospitality event. Over the last year, Jim has made appearances for Allstate Insurance, Fidelity Investments, Xerox, Coca-Cola, John Hancock, Jim Beam Brands, Coors, Miller Brewing Co., NBC, KPMG, Ocean Spray, American Home Food Products and Monster.com.
Jim is not a celebrity, he is a professional that will carry out, and convey, your corporate message/agenda to your key personnel and/or clients. Jim’s motivational lectures can be geared to your company’s employees and your business and will be specifically tailored for you by Jim around these hallmark concepts:
Self Motivation
- How do I strive for and achieve personal excellence?
- How do I stay committed to my personal goals?
- How do I condition myself to be professionally tough – better than my competitor?
Team Motivation/Corporate Picture
- How do I embrace the team concept - the team image?
- How do I win when people around me win?
- How do I help create contagious enthusiasm within the team?
