keynote speaker: rudy ruettiger

2023 marks 30 years since Tristar Productions immortalized Rudy’s life story in the blockbuster film named for him. It is a story of adversity and triumph about the “five-foot nothin’, a hundred and nothin’” Notre Dame football player who sacked the quarterback in the last 27 seconds of the only play in the only game of his college football career.
His captivating personality and powerful message of “Never Quit” and “Yes I Can” comes from his personal
experiences. As the son of an oil refinery worker and third of 14 children, Rudy rose from valleys of discouragement and despair to the pinnacles of success. It took years of fierce determination to overcome obstacles and criticisms, yet Rudy achieved his first dream – to attend Notre Dame and play football for the Fighting Irish. Today, Rudy Ruettiger is an Emmy Award Winning motivational speaker, author, and producer.
