I Empower STUDENTS and ATHLETES to Activate the greatness within!Do you have issues motivating your students or athletes? Do you find that your students or athletes are not performing at the level they are capable of? If you answered yes to either of these questions, DeVon Smith could solve your problem. I've been blessed to have the opportunity to transform schools/teams by speaking and educating young men and women across the country. Over the past 6+ years, I have studied and attacked vital issues such as emotional intelligence, career readiness, student achievement, suicide, anti-bullying, self-esteem, and countless other fundamentals within the educational system. In the sports arena, I have helped athletes and coaches build a culture, embrace teamwork, understand the importance of work ethic, and stay disciplined. Rarely do you meet someone with an impactful story of overcoming his struggles in reading and writing to become an author, being told he wasn't good as a basketball player, and now he is training some of the top players in the state of South Carolina, showing unwavering faith when he left his corporate job after seven years to chase his passion. Devon Smith is a determined motivational speaker, taking his passion for motivating young adults, using stories of inspiration and crazy faith to show young adults what can happen when you are Crazy Enough to Believe. DeVon has a proven track record of helping young adults Activate the Greatness they have inside and understand that your condition is not your conclusion. DeVon has spoken at schools, companies/businesses, churches, conferences, and non-profit organizations. His expertise has allowed him to work and mentor professional athletes, High/Middle students, and some of the country's top high school and college athletes. He has spoken to thousands of high school students and football and basketball teams. DeVon would be an excellent fit for any school, conference, company, or organization looking for an engaging and passionate speaker who will encourage and empower your students or team so they can reach another level.
