About Carly Patterson
In 2004, Carly Patterson became only the second American woman to win an Olympic all-around gold medal, and the first to do so in a non-bovcotted Olvmpic Games. She was the first American woman to win the title in 20 years, also taking home silver medals for balance beam, and the Women's team competition.
Carly's performance at the Olympics made her a household name, leading to numerous appearances on television talk shows and award shows, and her induction to the USA

Once she took the stage she was able to quickly capture the attention of everyone in the room. Her speech was inspiring and her video footage was able to visibly demonstrate her pursuit of Excellence during the Olympics. I would recommend Carly for any appearance as her story is relevant to everyone.

Carly has quickly become a student favorite keynote for our Character U program at DeSales University. It's not every day that a student can meet a gold medal Olympian and wear her medals! She has a powerful message that the students value and appreciate.
