CTN Southeast: Wake Up a Winner

Speaker:  Ahmard Vital is a sports media analyst who evolved into a keynote motivational speaker and author. After nearly a decade of studying the success habits of high achieving athletes, he developed principles that are shared in his keynotes for companies and organizations across the country.

With his core concept of “Awaken to Your Dreams,” Ahmard highlights the strategies used from the research of blue-chip level athletes’ mental attitudes, which is documented in his book Awaken the Baller Within. Dream building, goal setting and a relentless belief are the tools by which Ahmard teaches and equips individuals to become great in their chosen professions.

As a national sports writer, Ahmard is a college football recruiting analyst for Scout Media/Fox Sports. He is a staple on Fox’s High School Scoreboard Live as an expert on Houston area prep football and is featured on several national and local radio broadcasts.

In addition to Ahmard’s work as a writer and speaker, Ahmard also partners with the VIP Group, an organization dedicated to helping people reach maximum potential. With the group, Ahmard published an inspirational blog titled, “Vital Thoughts for Life,” which was a must-read for progressive individuals seeking immediate change. With VIP founder Arthur J. Johnson II, Ahmard collaborated on three CDs– The Power of One (two-disc) and The Power of Faith: Time to Get a New Act. Ahmard also released a mini book in July 2014 named, Talk Has Never Been Cheap.

When Ahmard is not writing or speaking, he is relaxing, reading and spending time with his wife LaToya and puppy Fassi.
