Nikki Stone

At the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, Nikki Stone became America’s first-ever Olympic Champion in the popular and electrifying sport of aerial skiing. What made this performance so unbelievable, was the fact that less than two years earlier, a chronic spinal injury prevented her from standing, much less skiing off a 12-foot tall snow jump that launches aerialists 50 feet into the air. Nikki’s accomplishments span far beyond the sports world as she is also has a Master’s Degree in Sports Psychology and wrote a motivational bestseller, "When Turtles Fly: Secrets of Successful People Who Know How to Stick Their Necks Out". Because of her in-depth experience, the USA Olympic Committee invited Nikki to work with all of the winter Olympic athletes on their mental strength as they arrived at the Olympic Games. Audiences love Nikki's enthusiasm, humor, knowledge and emotion and 100% of her attendees have found value in her speech and 100% would like to hear her speak again
