Ruben Gonzalez - Olympian Motivational Speaker (MCP Speakers)

In 1984 Ruben gonzales started training for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. His sport - The Luge. Hurling down an icy track at over 80 MPH. Most Olympic luge athletes began luging at age 12. Ruben first got on a luge sled at age 21. The challenges Ruben had to overcome make Ruben's story powerful. Ruben has been called "the Rudy of the Olympics".

Many crashes and many broken bones later, Ruben's dream became a reality when he qualified to compete in the Calgary Olympics. He went on to compete in the Albertville Olympics and in the Salt Lake City Olympics (at the age of 39).

Out of all the Olympic Torchbearers, only 200 were Olympians. Ruben was one of the 200 Olympians selected to be an Olympic Torchbearer for the Salt Lake City Games. Ruben was chosen for the way he embodies the Olympic Spirit and for inspiring others to reach new heights.

Armed with the same energy and dedication that he put into his athletic career, Ruben brings to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds a truly unique, truly memorable performance that teaches as it entertains, and inspires as it motivates.
