Cal Ripken Jr., baseball’s “Iron Man,” understands the power of perseverance. His consecutive-games-played record – which shattered Lou Gehrig’s streak of 2,131 games by more than 500 – is just one example of the dedication and work ethic that make him a role model.
In this inspirational keynote, Ripken will share stories from his 21-season career and illustrate how leadership, teamwork and perseverance are crucial to success in baseball as well as in business. |
Cal Ripken Jr., baseball’s “Iron Man,” broke several professional baseball records during his 21 seasons, but none is as sacred as his consecutive-games-played record. Shattering Lou Gehrig’s streak of 2,131 games by more than 500, Ripken displayed perseverance, endurance, and an everyday work ethic that endeared him to fans, transformed him into a national icon — and some argue, even saved baseball at its darkest moment.
In 2011, Ripken was named as a special envoy for the U.S. State Department, promoting teamwork and cross-cultural communication to Japan. Working with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to fulfill her mission of diplomacy and unity through sports, he visited tsunami- and earthquake-ravaged towns and ran baseball camps. He is also the author of numerous books on sports and parenting, plus a children’s book series co-written with Kevin Cowherd, columnist from The Baltimore Sun. |
