Dr. De Luise was once interviewed by a producer from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Mountain West Conference about his role with the United States Air Force Academy football team. One of his questions was, “How special is it for you to meet with the athlete’s hours before they take the field?” For three years, on the night before game day, he gave the Falcon football team a talk. For some, a motivational or inspirational talk energizes the moment. However, his motivational talks had to last. It was not enough to energize the team for a night. They played the next day. He had to penetrate their heart and mind and create content that resonated with them long after his words were spoken. His impact on the team was significant. In his last season with the team, the Air Force Falcons went 11-2 (the team’s most wins in two decades), won a bowl game, and earned an NCAA Division 1 National Ranking of 22 in the College Associated Press poll. Just as Chris inspired the Falcons to unprecedented success, his speaking will lift your team to new heights. Chris’s keynote speaking is filled with explosive energy, vivid illustrations, and enlightening content that will inspire your team to take massive action.
