I first heard Ben on his podcast, The Champion Forward Podcast, and was impressed with his passion for athletics and his passion for young people. Ben's ability to engage all age ranges, kids and adults, through storytelling and relations is tremendous. He is a gifted speaker who has the attention of the whole room. After he spoke at our school, I had many teachers and parents say how great he was and how his message was so appropriate and relatable for our students.
