Book Coach Dave to Speak

Real Story. Real Resilience. Real Transformation.

As a speaker, my goal is simple: to move people.

To shift perspectives. To spark action. To awaken something deep within.

I don’t just talk about mindset and performance—I’ve lived the extremes of both.

From earning success as an All-American athlete to facing one of the most terrifying moments of my life in a windowless FBI interrogation room, I’ve walked the hard road. I’ve felt the fear of losing everything—my business, my identity, my freedom. And I’ve done the painful work of rebuilding from rock bottom.

That journey reshaped me. It tore apart everything I thought I knew about success, failure, and self-worth. But it also led me to something far more powerful: purpose.

Today, I use that story—my setbacks, my mistakes, my comeback—not to entertain, but to empower.

What Audiences Will Experience

Whether I’m speaking to a room full of entrepreneurs, a boardroom of professionals, or a gymnasium filled with young athletes and students, the message is clear:

Your past doesn’t define your potential. Your pain can become your power. And your mindset is the key to everything.

I break down complex lessons into real, relatable, and actionable tools that leave people inspired and equipped. My talks blend high-level performance psychology with the raw reality of rebuilding yourself. It’s not fluff. It’s not hype. It’s real life—and the path forward through it.

For Business & Entrepreneurial Audiences

I speak to leaders, executives, and business owners who face pressure, overwhelm, and high expectations. Using tools from sports psychology—focus training, identity work, confidence conditioning—I show high performers how to rise, lead, and win again.

Topics include:

• The Performance Identity: Becoming the Leader Your Business Needs

• Bounce Back Leadership: Turning Setbacks into Comebacks

• Mental Conditioning for High-Stakes Decision Makers

• Discipline, Vision, and Culture: Leading Like a Champion

For Students, Athletes, and Youth Programs

Young people need more than motivation—they need belief, guidance, and someone who understands what it means to fall and get back up.

My message to students and athletes is simple but life-changing:

You have greatness inside of you. Your current circumstances don’t determine your future. Your mindset does.

Topics include:

• The Power of Identity in Sports and Life

• Confidence, Focus, and the Inner Game

• Overcoming Pressure and Self-Doubt

• Winning with Character: Leadership for the Next Generation

Why This Story Matters

The day I sat across from two FBI agents accusing me of a crime I didn’t commit, everything changed. What followed was a storm of fear, loss, betrayal, and self-doubt that nearly ended me. I lost my businesses. I lost my reputation. I almost lost my family.

But what I found through that pain was something no success could have taught me:

That real power lives in how you respond. In how you rebuild. In who you become when life hits hardest.

That’s what I bring to every stage:

• Raw honesty

• Proven strategies

• And a belief that every person in the room has something greater inside them—waiting to be unlocked.
