Featured Speaker:

Shannon Miller
Olympic Gymnast

Shannon Miller competed in TWO Olympic Games, earning seven Olympic medals – two gold, two silver and three bronze! She is the only female athlete to be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame – twice! –  as an individual (2006) and with the 2008 team.

Shannon has won an astounding 59 International and 49 National competition medals and more than half of these have been gold! She is the first U.S. gymnast to win back-to-back World All-Around titles, with a total of nine World medals. Her tally of five medals (two silver, three bronze) at the 1992 Olympics was the most medals won by a U.S. athlete in any sport. At the ’96 Games, she led the “Magnificent Seven” to the U.S. Women’s first-ever Team Gold, and for the first time for any American gymnast, she captured Gold on the Balance Beam!

After retiring from Olympic competition, Shannon received her undergraduate degrees in marketing and entrepreneurship from the University of Houston and her law degree from Boston College.

Shannon remains a part of the gymnastics and Olympic communities as an analyst and commentator. In 2010, she launched her company devoted to helping women make their health a priority. Shannon continues to travel the country as a highly sought-after motivational speaker on topics ranging from "The Gold Medal Mindset" to cancer and survivorship to the importance of health and fitness.

In January of 2011, Shannon was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. She had the baseball-sized tumor removed successfully and followed up with an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. Shannon has remained open and public about her diagnosis and treatment and continues to empower women to make their health a priority. Shannon is currently cancer-free and continues to be a strong advocate for early detection, awareness, research and survivorship.

Shannon’s passion is to help encourage and empower others to break through and overcome their own personal challenges with the Gold Medal Mindset, a mindset that we can all attain.

Shannon is a mother of two, cancer survivor, author and sports analyst but she will forever be remembered for her focus, determination and as the leader of the Magnificent Seven!
