NexGoal’s Kevin Dahl joined fellow Trilogy Athletes at the inaugural 2Live Beyond Celebrity Golf Tournament in Myrtle Beach, SC, benefiting the Reggie Sanders Foundation Dream Within You Campaign and Africa New Life Ministries.

The tournament, hosted by MLB legend Reggie Sanders and former NFL great Andre Davis, was a success out of the gate. (Flipgram recap) Over 130 golfers participated in the two-day event that featured the tournament and silent auction to benefit their charities.

The Reggie Sanders Foundation Dream Within You Campaign funds the deserving dreams of individuals and organizations who are in desperate need of help and possess the will and determination to make their dream a reality.

Africa New Life Ministries works to break the cycle of poverty in Rwanda by providing education and basic necessities to poor children and families. Their current project is the construction of a health clinic to bring healthcare to the many Rwandans who have never had it before.

Success came for Dahl and his team as well, as they were the winners of the tournament. In addition to NexGoal’s co-founder, former MLB players Orlando Hudson, Jim Perry, and Kurt Seibert teamed up with golf pro John Fritz to win the tournament.

So You Want To Be An Effective Speaker?

MicrophoneTrilogy Athlete Annette Lynch was a member of the 2000 Australian Olympic beach volleyball team in Sydney and played on the FIVB World Tour. Following her athletic career, she transformed her athletic experiences into a successful career as an inspirational speaker, author, and coach. Author of Success beyond Sport (a guide for athlete transition), Annette now focuses on training of confidence and skills for speaking, communication, and leadership to entrepreneurs and organizations that value high-performance. 

 

A common career path for athletes is to become a motivational speaker. You have a great story of striving for your dream, the obstacles you overcame, and what it takes to be a champion – and people love to hear a good story.

It’s one thing having the story, it’s another to have the confidence and skill to deliver it effectively, grabbing and holding the attention of your audience

I find speaking is a lot like a sporting performance – you need to train and prepare for it, and there are always areas to improve.  Just as great athletes are looking for the difference that makes the difference to win, speakers want to look for distinctions that will help them get better results.

Even speakers that have confidence, a good message, and good delivery can benefit from a public speaking tip that will help take them to another level.

So where is there room for improvement? Here are three key areas that hold the attention of the audience and inspire them to action.

1. Confidence – even naturally confident people might find themselves on shaky ground in front of a large audience, or a tough audience posing challenging questions.
What if things go wrong? You want to be calm and comfortable in all situations, so that the audience feel comfortable and can totally trust you. There are ways to improve your confidence so that you fully own the stage whenever you are on it.

2. Content – I’m always refining my content, finding better ways to get my message across.  The more prepared you are, the more opportunity you have to find the fine distinctions in your communication that can make a difference.
I was listening to someone just recently, and though I could see the value in her content and knew what she wanted to convey, she did not hold my attention. She had the wrong level of content for the purpose of the presentation. Just some changes to focus on what was most important to the audience (not her) would have been one way to grab back my attention. You need to pay attention to the structure of your content and at all times consider how it will relate to the audience. This includes your stories!

3. Expression – This is an area less people pay attention to, and thus can pay the biggest dividends when looking to take your speaking from OK to WOW.
This is everything but the words – how you move, how you use your voice, how you pause, and more.
Speaking is a skill that benefits from training. I know it made a big difference to me going from motivational speaker as an Olympian, to learning high-level presentation skills that helped me connect with my audience. Most importantly, it helped me to get my message to more people – to grab the attention of those who might otherwise be ready to change.

Athletes have to pay attention to distinctions as important as a bend in a joint at the wrong time – something that could cost a fraction of a second or a deflection of a ball.  This can be the difference between winning or not. The difference between getting the result you want, and the result you don’t.

Think about what result you want to get as a speaker, and decide what areas need to improve to get them.

NexGoal CEO Kevin Dahl (L) talks to fellow Trilogy Mentor John Haime (R), a former tournament professional golfer about the “mental side” of the game.

NexGoal president and CEO Kevin Dahl joined a panel of former Olympians and professional athletes at the Inaugural Trilogy Mentor Conference in Toronto, Ontario.  These individuals have been recognized as trailblazers who not only were accomplished athletes, but have carried that success into their business careers.

A division of remBrand Sports, this program will deliver athlete-to-athlete mentoring through a private membership organization exclusive to these executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.  During the three-day event, mentors were coached by top leaders in business, athletic development, and transition planning on how to better understand and support elite athletes.

“Joe Jackman (founding partner of remBrand)  put on a fabulous conference.  I truly enjoyed learning Rembrand’s vision, and also all the insight of the athletes involved.”

Trilogy will be hosting additional Mentor Conferences in 2013. The partnership between NexGoal and remBrand Sports continues to get the most from our athlete-candidates and mold our franchises.
