About Tom Higgins

Throughout my professional football career, I have dedicated myself to motivating, leading, challenging, and mentoring athletes of all ages.

As a speaker, I address topics such as Inspiring Greatness, Leading for Impact, Acting with Integrity, and Creating a Winning Culture in the sports, health/wellness, and business communities.Not only am I an authority on football, but I am also an engaging, warm, and inspiring storyteller. I seamlessly translate the lessons learned on the football field into valuable insights for business and life. My dynamic storytelling captivates audiences, energizing them to take game-changing actions in their own lives.Still deeply committed to the sport, I am currently open to work in various capacities within football, including guest coaching, supporting others in coaching roles or dynamic roles where my expertise could be a value add to a team, club or athletes. I continue to work as a speaker across the province and country inspiring teams, businesses and organizations with formal and informal speaks on leadership, impact, and winning cultures.
