Alan Veingrad is a motivator, entertainer, and financial & insurance strategist. He may be the only former NFLer in history to become a Torah-observant Orthodox Jew. Alan has shared his inspirational messages of positivism, personal excellence, leadership, and spiritual connection to corporate and business audiences worldwide.

Alan's candor and charisma keep audiences spellbound while he shares stories of the intense training, ruthless competitive atmosphere, and performance requirements of professional football life. His dynamic presentation style and post-retirement experience in business development have made him a much sought-after speaker by Fortune 500 companies, professional services firms, and owner-managed businesses.

In a one-of-a-kind presentation, Alan shares the story of how, after retiring from professional football, he became aware his lifestyle was more "style" than "life." A captivating speaker and storyteller, Alan describes how the lifestyle he fell into after his retirement from professional football left a void that unwittingly lead him to the Torah and Mitzvos.

Through Alan's inspirational keynotes, audiences learn how they, too, can transform uniqueness into greatness:

Touchdowns Are a Team Effort: Offensive Play in a Defensive World. Alan outlines his five-point program that serves as the playbook for your organization to score big no matter how challenging the formation or how long the odds.

My Journey: Steps to Self-Discovery in Size 14 Shoes. In this very personal presentation, Alan shares the steps that led to his spiritual journey where he found a deepening sense of contentment and renewed sense of purpose.

In Overdrive at Overtime: Consistently Doing More Than What's Expected. Personal excellence begins with going beyond what is expected and doing more than what the terms of the contract specify.

Don't Lose Your Super Bowl Ring: Protecting What You've Earned by Surrounding Yourself With the Proper Front Line. Alan explains in detail why surrounding yourself with the proper left tackle to protect your blind side in business and personal planning is an integral part of protecting your legacy.

Lead your organizations by exemplifying a culture of personal and professional achievement blended with a higher purpose.

After graduating from East Texas State University, Alan overcame long odds when he earned a spot on the Green Bay Packers after two failed attempts, starting 16 games as a rookie free agent. A seven-year career followed as an offensive lineman in the NFL, first with the Green Bay Packers and then the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he won Super Bowl XXVII.

Alan has been featured on NBC, NPR, JM in the AM, and the Jewish Channel. He's also been spotlighted in The New York Times, New York Post, The Dallas Morning News, and The Miami Herald.
