Highlights from METALCON 2024

Game Plan for Success

Presented by Joe Theismann

This dynamic presentation outlined the game plan that brought Joe Theismann success both on and off the football field.

Former NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl Champion, revealed his Game Plan for Success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business.

Joe focused on how to succeed under pressure - when it's "4th and 1", and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations when you're faced with a "blitz" instead of a zone. He urges individuals and organizations to set goals and correct errors each step of the way, an approach that builds momentum... which once on your side, would be hard for the best "defense" to stop.
