Darryll knocked it out of the park! The crowd was moved. I was moved personally. I cannot say enough good things about Darryll's role as a speaker and motivator.
Darryll Stinson, also known as Dstints is a becoming known as one of the most dynamic vulnerable speakers of our time.
A former Division 1 athlete, Darryll went through a severe depression after a back surgery ended his path to the NFL. Thankfully, everything changed when he found faith and mental health practices in a psychiatric unit.
Today, Darryll is a 2xTEDx speaker, best-selling author and masterful storyteller who combines his experience as an elite athlete, his personal challenges in mental health, and his expertise in communication to ignite massive growth within individuals and organizations.
He’s graced stages with celebrities such as Magic Johnson, Seth Godin, Jack Canfield, Eric Thomas and more. His energetic, heartfelt and thought-provoking presentations leave a lasting imprint, making him a compelling choice for event organizers.
Beyond the spotlight, Darryll’s vision is to be known for how he loves and gives. He received the Dave Hunter Community Service Award for his role impacting thousands of students and hundreds of recovering addicts throughout metro Atlanta. He also cares deeply about nature and is invested in clean water and environment projects.
When he's not empowering others, Darryll enjoys solitude, long walks in nature, and spending quality time with his wife, Brittany, and their four children (Ava, Arianna, Amaya, and Isaiah).

Mental health has been a rising concern in every corner of our world. The problem, especially for high achievers is that traditional mental health advice is designed to lead people from crisis to calm — to get someone who is struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or worse to find peace, safety, groundedness, and love.
However, Darryll presents a new mental health roadmap that doesn’t just help leaders feel better but empowers them to become better — moving not just from crisis to calm, but to greater levels of contribution, productivity, and performance.
Stemming from his daily practice, former suicide survivor, Darryll Stinson reveals his groundbreaking Self C.A.R.E. system that empowers leaders to achieve sustainable high performance in all areas of their life.
Many athletes grow up wanting to be a star - Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, Michael Phelps, Cheryl Miller, Hussain Bolt, or Lionel Messi. As they journey through sports, their athletic identity strengthens. They get used to the attention, influence, and confidence that comes from being an athlete.
The challenge is that all athletes, whether amateur or seasoned, will have to transition out of sports, many unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with their new life.
