Game Plan for Success

Presented by Joe Theismann
This dynamic presentation outlines the game plan that brought Joe Theismann success both on and off the football field. Former NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl Champion, he reveals his Game Plan for Success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business.

Joe focuses on how to succeed under pressure – when it’s “4th and 1”, and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations when you’re faced with a “blitz” instead of a zone. He urges individuals and organizations to set goals and correct errors each step of the way, an approach that builds momentum… which once on your side, would be hard for the best “defense” to stop.

Learning Objectives: Importance of Adapting to unexpected situations. Tools and tips to succeed under pressure. The importance of setting goals and how goal setting can correct errors along the way. Tackling the obstacles placed in front of you.
