“I had the opportunity to hear Rohan Murphy address several Husker teams and was very impressed with his sincerity, passion, humor and candor. His story is one of perseverance, self-belief, sacrifice, work ethic and determination. His real-life story is a perspective changer as certainly we all face challenges, obstacles and adversity, most of which would pale in comparison to what Rohan has endured and overcome. Rohan has proven that ‘anything is possible’ and I believe his message made a memorable impact on our student-athletes that will motivate and inspire them to greater success.”
Tom Osborne, Former Head Coach & Athletic Director, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
“Our students (grades 6-12) had an opportunity to listen to Rohan and he was an instant hit. Beyond his message and physical attributes, he was able to get the students and staff engaged in his demeanor and personality, and gave them the mindset of “No Excuses”. The message of overcoming challenges, looking for opportunities, believing, and having a positive mindset was given in a way that our youngest to oldest students could resonate within their lives. The time he took to talk to the students, encourage them, and show how anything is possible will be something they will never forget.”
Jim Widdifield, Superintendent, Minden Public Schools
“Our students were mesmerized by Rohan’s story, amazed by his determination, in awe of his strength, and impressed with his attitude. The mix of humor and reality made the time pass quickly and kept students’ and staff’s attention the entire time. Rohan’s ‘no excuses’ philosophy was great inspiration to all those who attended. I strongly recommend his program and believe it to be beneficial in so many ways to listeners of all ages.”
Dr. Dan Endorf, Superintendent, North Bend Central Public Schools
“I had the great pleasure of hearing Rohan Murphy speak in front of a large audience recently. From the moment he hit the stage he had the audience eating out of his hand and kept us captivated the whole time. He is personable, articulate, funny and most importantly, an inspiration to all. His message that “you can do anything” truly hit home coming from a young man lost both his legs at the age of four who went on to become an accomplished high school and college wrestler. As a professional speaker myself I can honestly say that you MUST hear Rohan’s message. It will inspire you to realize that you, too, can do anything you set your mind to!”
Jeff “The SalesPro” Goldberg
“As a teacher with 30 years of experience, I have attended a lot of student assemblies that promised to be life-changing and inspiring. Rohan Murphy did just that when he came to my middle school. To have 650 students listen so intently for over an hour showed how engaging he was. With heart, humor, and humility he shared his story in a way that touched so many of my students. Many children often feel powerless, but Rohan made them all feel empowered that day. His ability to connect with the students and engage them showed a natural ability to teach. His presentation was the best we have ever had here. Students and staff alike said that they were moved in a way that they had not felt in a long time. The standing ovation of the entire student body and staff said it all!!”
