THURSDAY NIGHT GUEST SPEAKER -- PETER VIDMAR, "HELPING PEOPLE REALIZE THEIR OWN POTENTIAL". Peter Vidmar is the highest scoring American gymnast in Olympic history. The winner of numerous national and international titles, Peter finished his successful career at the 1984 Olympic Games. As the USA men's gymnastics team captain, he led his teammates to America's first team gold medal with their stunning upset victory over the defending world champions, the People's Republic of China. He went on to win the silver medal in the individual all-around competition (the only American to have ever won an Olympic All-Around medal), and with a perfect score of 10, he captured the gold medal on the pommel horse.
Peter will do much more than just talk about his experiences. In his inspiring, humorous, and entertaining presentation, he will also perform portions of his Olympic routine on the pommel horse to drive home his message.
He demonstrates the three components of a perfect score in gymnastics - Risk. Originality and Virtuosity (ROV) - and discusses how they apply to success in life. He is the author of the recently released book, Risk, Originality, and Virtuosity: The Keys to a Perfect 10.
