Football Commentator on ESPN
Gilberto Silva, a former professional footballer turned sports speaker, captivates audiences with his after dinner speeches. He shares his life journey, from growing up in poverty to becoming a successful football defender. Through his anecdotes, he imparts actionable methods for personal and professional development, including important life skills like determination and leadership.

Having played 386 senior games and 93 games for Brazil, Gilberto established himself as a formidable force on the pitch. He made his international debut in 2002 against Chile and scored three impressive World Cup goals against Iceland and Bolivia.

Gilberto's exceptional skills as a defensive midfielder earned him the reputation of being one of the best in the world. He even served as captain against England, showcasing his respected leadership abilities.

Gilberto's unique playing style, known as "the invisible wall," involved breaking up the opposition's attacks before they could respond. He encourages his audience to adopt this mindset of teamwork and success rather than individual glory. His expertise in high-performance teams and the importance of communication under pressure provides corporate audiences with a comprehensive understanding of interpersonal relationships.

Beyond his football career, Gilberto has worked with The Street League, a charity that organizes football matches for marginalized groups. He passionately advocates for the positive influence of physical activities and opens his audience's eyes to the power of sports.
With his decades of experience on and off the pitch, Gilberto also thrives as a football commentator, appearing on shows like ESPN. His thrilling experiences and knowledge make him a relevant figure in the world of football, making his sports speeches highly beneficial for audiences.
