John Hindle was the General Manager of the Winnipeg Goldeyes, a minor league baseball team, for the first eight years of the club’s existence. In his top selling book, “Jackrabbits in the Outfield”, he tells stories about the people he met on his journey and describes his management style. He openly discusses the process of honing the Goldeyes into a jewel on the Winnipeg landscape. This is a rare opportunity to go inside the workings of a successful professional sports team. Personal insights make this great reading for sports fans, those interested in the development of a successful business, or anyone who appreciates the rigors of a challenging job — one that John has described as his “dream job.”

John is a dynamic public speaker who uses interesting anecdotes from his experiences in professional sports to hit home runs with his audiences. His presentations combine humor, adventure, drama, failure and success, while sharing lessons learned from the monumental challenges of building two successful businesses from the ground up — The Winnipeg Goldeyes Baseball Club and Home Run Sports, a successful sporting goods business that John sold in 2003. His inspirational speeches use stories and anecdotes that entertain as well as bring home the importance of self-motivation, team dynamics, leadership, and tackling seemingly overwhelming challenges.
