Speaker Gale Sayers

Pride, poise, leadership, dedication and loyalty are all Hall of Fame traits exhibited by the original "Magic" man of professional sports, Gale Sayers, now available for speaking engagements and personal appearances.

Throughout the storied history of the National Football League there was no more exciting running back than Chicago Bears’ superstar Gale Sayers. When one reminisces about gridiron glory, Sayers emerges to the forefront.

Born and raised appropriately in the Kansas town of "Speed", Gale was known as the "Kansas Comet" when he was drafted by George Halas and the Chicago Bears in 1965. After leading the league in scoring and running for six touchdowns in one game, he was named Rookie of the Year in 1965. He is the all time NFL kickoff return leader in touchdowns and yardage, and was named to the 75th Anniversary All Time team. In 1977 Sayers was honored by becoming the youngest player in NFL history to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Currently, Sayers serves as President of Sayers Computer Source, a company he founded with his wife in 1984. He holds a bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and a Masters of Science degree in Education Administration from the University of Kansas. Sayers has also undertaken financial management training at the New York Institute of Finance.

Since his football retirement, Sayers has made his life off the field as exciting and productive as his football career. Sayers’ many contributions to academics, athletics, business, community and charitable include:

• National Board Member for Junior Achievement
• Board of Trustees member for the Boy Scouts of America Chicago Chapter
• Board member of the Marklund Children Center for handicapped children
• Alumni spokesman for the Boys and Girls Club of America
• Board member of the Better Boys Foundation
• Board member of The Cradle Adoption Agency

Gale’s story is not complete without mentioning his work as an author and humanitarian. Sayers’ much acclaimed autobiography I Am Third represents more than athletic and business success, it reflects a philosophy of life: "The Lord first; my family and friends second; I Am Third."
