Dan “Rudy” Ruettiger: Still Sacks the hearts of meeting planners as a Motivational Speaker
Any sports fan will always remember the message of hope and perseverance the first time he or she saw the movie inspired by the “5Foot nothing, 100 pounds nothing” kid who dreamed of playing football for the University of Notre Dame.
Well, Dan “Rudy” Ruettiger is that kid, all grown up now, and he continues to motivate and give people hope all over America as a motivational speaker. While on the stage, he makes people understand that life is all about understanding your dream, recognizing the struggle, and achieving victory. His no nonsense, yet heartfelt approach to life resonates with meeting planners, conferences, and association meetings on an every day basis as he tells his story of perseverance and adversity on a personal level.
Rudy After Football
(from Wikipedia) In 1997 Ruettiger and his wife Cheryl founded the Rudy Foundation. The Rudy Foundation created the Rudy Award Program to benefit children’s advocacy programs. The inaugural 2007 College Football Rudy Award was held on 8 January 2008 at the OpryLand Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. The College Football Rudy Award was created by the Rudy Foundation and honors Division I football players who demonstrate what Ruettiger refers to as “The Four C’s”: character, courage, contribution and commitment as a member of their team. The 2007 award was presented to Terry Clayton of the University of Kentucky Wildcats and the 2008 award was presented to Drew Combs of the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.
In July 2009, Ruettiger was initiated into the Kappa Sigma Fraternity at the National Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
In September 2009, the Rudy Foundation and Trusted Sports launched the High School Football Rudy Awards, which aims to uncover the “Rudy” in every High School football team in America. The Award is presented to the most inspirational High School football player who personifies the “The Four C’s”: Courage, Character, Commitment and Contribution. Inspired by the College Football Rudy Awards, three finalists will receive college scholarships totalling $20,000, and the finalist will be presented with The Rudy Award by Ruettiger at an event in March, 2010.”
