Biography

Ben Zobrist is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) star and a two-time World Series champion (including 2016 World Series MVP), renowned for his versatility and leadership on the field. Over his illustrious 14-year career, he played for teams including the Tampa Bay Rays, Oakland Athletics, Kansas City Royals, and Chicago Cubs, earning three All-Star selections. Known for his strategic approach to baseball and ability to play multiple positions effectively, Zobrist brought a unique blend of skill and adaptability to the game.

Off the field, Zobrist founded a nonprofit organization called Champion Forward that exists to help teenage athletes, parents, and coaches improve their mental well-being and increase confidence. As a speaker, he communicates passionately about leadership, teamwork, overcoming adversity, and the importance of maintaining balance for a healthy professional and personal life. His engaging storytelling and real-world insights make him a compelling presence at conferences, workshops, and motivational events, offering valuable lessons that extend well beyond the sports arena.

Ben found an insightful way to interweave the concepts of mental health, authenticity, and resilience into an incredible talk. He was wonderful.

Ben was vulnerable, honest, and empathetic drawing on his own personal experiences with mental health as a professional athlete. His humility and compassion had an incredibly meaningful impact on everyone in attendance. As a celebrity, we could not have been more appreciative of how easily he was able to relate to attendees and his genuine willingness to help others who sought his guidance after his remarks. It was a moving night for all and everyone is still talking the impact he left.
