Dick Stockton
Biography

Dick Stockton is a national network sports television broadcaster who has covered events for virtually every major sport for over four decades. He has called baseball's World Series, nine NBA championship finals, countless NCAA basketball tournament games including Regional finals and hosted one NCAA Final Four. He has covered major league baseball for over ten seasons as well as two American League championship series and when he was with Turner Sports he covered seven National League Division series. In addition, his voice is synonymous with two winter Olympic Games punctuated by the Gold Medal performance in speed-skating by Dan Jansen in Norway in 1994 as well as the gold medal victories of Bonnie Blair.

Stockton started freelancing for CBS Sports in the late 1960s, while still doing local television at KDKATV in Pittsburgh. In 1978, he joined CBS full-time, and from then until 1994 covered a variety of sports for that network, including the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, college basketball including ten years as a play-by-play broadcaster of the NCAA Regional Finals. Stockton was the host at the famous upset of Villanova over Georgetown in 1985.

Stockton was part of the broadcast crew for NBC Sports' coverage of the 1975 World Series, and on television he called Carlton Fisk's legendary 12th-inning home run in the sixth game of the World Series for NBC Sports ("if it stays fair......home run!")

Stockton left CBS in 1994 for Fox Sports, which continues to employ him on NFL and Major League Baseball telecasts. He covered NFL Divisional Playoff games from 1994-2007 for Fox. From 2001 through 2008, Stockton called the Super Bowl for the NFL to an international audience of more than 230 countries.

In 2001, he was inducted as a broadcaster into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable voices in sports television, Stockton has been named as one of the top 50 network sportscasters of all time.

That’s Why They Play the Game

That’s Why They Play the Game – is a popular sports truism meaning that the game isn’t decided

on paper. One team might have more talent and might be favored to win the game by oddsmakers, but

when the game is actually played there is no certainty that the favorite will always win. After analyzing

sports games for over 40 years, Stockton is a master at knowing how the best teams win by never

underestimating their competition, being prepared and always doing their best. As one of the most

recognized voices in sports, Stockton entertains and captivates his audiences with his unique ability to

tell the stories behind many of the major sports happenings and the people who made them happen. He

shares key lessons from successes and failures, and “That’s why they play the game to see who’ll win.”

Great Moments of Leadership in Sports

Drawing from his more than four decades of analyzing

sports, Stockton observed how different approaches from the finest coaches and managers were

instrumental in the success of teams that became champions. He provides his audience with best

practices and tools they can utilize to move their own teams to success.

Attitude for Success

This dynamic presentation is the story of Stockton’s success in a highly-
competitive business. How it all developed with twists and turns, highs and lows and ultimate belief in his

ability to win. His valuable business lessons and positive mental attitude transcend sports. He gives the

audience a 5-step process to motivate themselves and their teams to perform at their highest potential

and accomplish goals they never thought were possible.
