Without losses, there are no wins and without adversity, nothing to overcome. Although many embark on the road to achieving their dreams, in the face of fear and doubt, most stray from the path. Few ever rise to their highest potential.

Shawn Harper, knew what it was like to come in last. From an early age, the odds were stacked against him. He struggled both financially and academically, facing a multitude of obstacles, he longed to find a sense of purpose. Doubted by his teachers, peers, and coaches, he was deemed “not good enough”. By all accounts, he should have lost but in his darkest hour he chose to fight – and won. His story is one of inspiration, grit, and determination – a tale of the underdog fighting his way to the NFL. He would go on to play for the Colts, Rams, Oilers and NFL Europe, becoming a decorated athlete and earning the respect of his teammates.

Today Shawn is a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and accomplished author of “The Winning Edge”. He travels nationwide, captivating audiences from locker rooms to board rooms with his energetic style, wit, and candor. His commitment to sharing strategies and techniques learned both on and off the field has left a profound impact on all who will listen. Shawn’s mission is to guide both teams and individuals to use those same methods to find purpose, strengthen work culture, elevate focus, achieve goals, and win in all facets of life!
