Mark Speckman is so much more than a football coach. He is a teacher, a motivational speaker, and a man who has learned to turn the adversity that life has dealt him into a positive affirmation. Mark Speckman was born without hands, a situation which might ultimately destroy the strongest of us. His life speaks volumes about never giving up, always doing the very best you can regardless of the circumstances, and how you can use your difficult (some would call it impossible situation) to help others.

While Mark’s physical disability is evident, his message is about recognizing and overcoming the “disabilities” in your own life that are preventing you from reaching your potential. We cannot control all of the circumstances in our life, but we can control how we react to them. Mark has taken his physical liability and turned it into a positive. He has touched many thousands with his uplifting story.

"Mark joins a limited group coaches/speakers — Coach John Wooden, Bob Knight, Paul Bucha (Congressional Medal of Honor recipient) — who, in my 43 years of offering coaches' clinics for high school coaches, have received a standing ovation."
