Known as the original “magic” man of professional sports, Gale Sayers made football history and touched the lives of millions of Americans. As the Chicago Bears’ legendary number 40, Sayers was NFL Rookie of the Year in 1965 and scored a record six touchdowns in one game. After only three years in the NFL, he was voted the best halfback of the first 50 years of professional football. He was also the youngest player ever to be inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. He went on to write the popular book, I Am Third, which was made into the movie Brian’s Song, depicting the relationship between Gale and Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer. The title of the book is Gale Sayers’ philosophy of life: “The Lord is first; my family and friends are second; and I am third.”
Following an incredible football career with the Chicago Bears, Sayers began another successful career in business following the same principals he used on the field. Gale Sayers is President/CEO of Sayers Computer Source, a company he and his wife Ardythe founded in 1984. The business was launched after a successful career in athletic administration and sports marketing. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and a Masters of Science degree in Education Administration from the University of Kansas. Although his technology business is his first priority, Sayers finds time to do motivational speaking engagements and appearances for many worthwhile causes.
In 1999, Sayers was inducted into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame, and was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. In addition, Kansas University School of Education recently unveiled the Gale Sayers Microcomputer Center in Pearson Hall – an inspiration to generations of students and visitors of his dedication to education.
Gale Sayers also serves on the Board of Directors of Triad Hospitals, which manages healthcare facilities in the south and southwestern United States, and American Century Mutual Funds, located in Kansas City.

Christian Speakers
Christian speakers have become very popular with religious organizations. Not only do these organizations use Christian speakers to generate excitement, increase attendance and raise money, but they also use them to spread the gospel. People are much more inclined to attend an event and listen to a testimonial from a celebrity than from someone they don’t know. Religious organizations hire Christian speakers for a variety of events, including…
Church Services
Example…A church recently hired Christian sports speaker, Jim “The Rookie” Morris to speak at its Easter services. Jim shared his faith with the congregation during three different services over the course of Easter weekend.
Men’s Events
Example…Former Denver Broncos & Atlanta Falcons football coach Dan Reeves appeared at men’s event to share his story about football and his relationship with Christ.
Outreach Programs
Example…In an effort to attract more men to Christ, Christian speaker and professional bass fisherman Hank Parker spoke at a church-sponsored fishing expo. Hank gave a fishing clinic and spoke about how religion has influenced his life.
Kid’s Programs
Example…Former baseball and football sports star Deion Sanders attended a kid’s retreat and spoke not only about the importance of staying in school and making the right choices but why his relationship with Christ is the most important relationship of his life.
School Fundraiser
Example…St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock appeared at a Christian school’s annual fundraiser and spoke about his baseball career, his faith and the role it’s played in his life.

Jennie Finch…One of the most-recognized women’s softball players in Olympic history, Finch helped lead the U.S. to a gold medal in 2004 & silver medal in 2008. She attended the University of Arizona, where she was a two-time winner of the Honda Award for best collegiate player and had her jersey retired by the university.
Jim Morris…As inspiration for the movie “The Rookie”, Morris tried out for and ultimately pitched in the Majors for the Tampa Bay Rays after promising the high school team he was coaching that he would try out for the big leagues if they won the district championship.
Orel Hershiser…Hershiser’s performance during the 1988 baseballs season was one for the ages. He became the first NL player to win the MVP award in both postseason series while leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series title. He also won the 1988 NL Cy Young Award.
