Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Ryan Walter
My purpose is to "Inspire your Hungry spirit" and my desire is to impact and ignite YOUR BEST GAME!
I am fortunate not only to have studied the best athletes and coaches in the world to discover how they accomplish their very best, but also to have done it! I played 15 NHL seasons as one of the top 700 players in my sport in the world and won the ultimate prize - the Stanley Cup, coached for 2 years in the NHL and was Head Coach of the Canadian National Women's Hockey team. I continue to coach companies and organizations around the world as a keynote speaker and interactive trainer striving to inspire their best.
I would love the opportunity to help your organization feed, lead and succeed with one of my keynote speeches or leadership sessions.
Stay HUNGRY. Play your BEST game.
