Eric LeGrand is a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, sports analyst, philanthropist, and author whose story of resilience has inspired millions. In 2010, a spinal cord injury ended his promising Rutgers University football career, but it ignited a mission far greater than the game. Refusing to be defined by his injury, Eric turned his journey into a platform for hope, advocacy, and action.
As founder of Team LeGrand for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, he has helped raise more than $2 million for spinal cord research and support. His work has earned national recognition, including the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the ESPYs, induction into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Warrior Award category, and Sports Illustrated’s “Best Moment” honor. Beyond advocacy, Eric is a successful entrepreneur, leading ventures such as LeGrand Coffee House, Shop Fifty Two apparel, and Eric LeGrand Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, all while making regular appearances on ESPN, SiriusXM, and Big Ten Network.
For teams and businesses, Eric delivers more than inspiration—he offers a blueprint for transforming setbacks into opportunities, building resilience, and creating a legacy through leadership and service. His talks blend powerful storytelling with actionable lessons that challenge audiences to push past limitations and believe in what’s possible.
