Bookmark and Share

Richard Thomas knows what it means to overcome obstacles both on and off the playing field. As a member of the University of Washington football team he triumphed over dyslexia to earn a college degree. That accomplishment also led to success on the gridiron where he helped the Huskies win three consecutive Pac-10 titles in addition to an earth shattering upset of the Miami Hurricanes ending their 58 game home winning streak. Today Richard is an inspirational speaker currently developing leaders to empower people to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. His new company is called Coaching the Champion and is being birthed out of years of motivating, inspiring, and equipping people in a variety of different environments.
