The challenges that Kelly Smith has faced in life, his attitude towards them, and his ability to rise above them, are what make him such an exceptional speaker. In his inspiring presentations, he tells audiences that it is the choices we make everyday that define the life we live and the life we can have-and it all starts with believing in what is possible.

Smith recounts for audiences the two key challenges that have shaped his life: the accident that broke his back, and his decision, in the wake of this, to become the very best athlete he could be. From there, he empowers audiences to recognize and focus on their strengths, to set goals, and to maintain a positive attitude in their efforts to achieve them.

"Life is the ultimate adventure," Smith reminds us. "Why not live it as amazingly as you can. It all starts with believing and believing starts with the right attitude."
