Gridiron to the Boardroom: What CEOs Can Learn from a Super Bowl Champion

At the highest levels, football isn’t just a game... it’s a business built on leadership, systems, and accountability.

In this exclusive CEO masterclass, Super Bowl Champion Jeff Hartings joins Frank Niekamp, Managing Partner at SalesStar USA, to share his pursuit of success from growing up on a small Ohio farm as one of eight children, to earning a college scholarship, to achieving his dream of playing in the NFL. Initially brought wealth and accolades, but also left his life filled with emptiness and tension.

It wasn’t until Jeff was inspired by a mentor and discovered a deeper sense of purpose that everything changed. Guided by faith and a renewed perspective, Jeff learned that servant leadership, accountability, and the belief that “the process is the product” are what truly create fulfilment on the field, in business, and at home.

Join Jeff and Frank as they translate these hard-won lessons from the gridiron into actionable leadership insights for CEOs and business owners. You’ll discover how the same principles that build championship teams can help you create a high-performance culture defined by preparation, discipline, and authentic leadership that inspires lasting success.

If you lead a sales-driven organization and want to elevate both performance and purpose across your team, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
