With the same optimism, sense of humor and steadfast determination that were his trademarks as a Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Bleier takes audiences from his early years through his professional career and talks about the lessons he learned along the way - lessons from which everyone can benefit.

Not falling within the ideal of what a running back should look like, Bleier had to run harder and play smarter to be able to stand out. Despite his drive and ability to make the big play, the Pittsburgh Steelers only considered him a late round pick. But before the season ended that first year, he was drafted again, this time by the United States Army. At the height of the Vietnam War, Bleier was thrust into combat early and was seriously wounded when his platoon ran into an ambush. Receiving wounds from both rifle fire and grenade fragments in his legs, he was barely able to walk, and his professional football career seemed to have ended before it began.

Rocky On Confidence:

"What fuels your vision is your attitude"

For more than two years, he drove himself. Little by little he overcame obstacles and fought his way back. He not only made the Pittsburgh Steelers, but also eventually became a starting running back on a team that won four Super Bowls and became the greatest football team of the 20th century. The hard lessons Bleier learned early in his life that helped him overcome adversity and reach his goals have paid off after football. Some of those lessons are seen between the lines in the popular book on his life, Fighting Back, and in the ABC-TV movie of the week of the same name.

What makes Bleier so popular as a speaker is his ability to translate core values in his speech, "Be the Best You Can Be." With real-world practicality, he points out ways to reach new levels of inner confidence.
