Bruce Jenner California
|
|||
Bruce Jenner captivated the world when he broke the world record by scoring 8,634 points in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympic games in Montreal and earned the title, "World's Greatest Athlete."
The years since his athletic achievements made him world famous, Bruce has become a highly respected motivational speaker, sports commentator, entrepreneur, commercial spokesperson, television personality, actor, producer and author. A devoted father and husband, Bruce is also a loyal supporter of many non-profit and charitable organizations and serves on numerous advisory boards such as the Special Olympics, where he serves on the Council of Champions, The National Dyslexia Research Foundation, and an avid supporter of Athletes and Entertainers for Kids. Bruce and his wife Kris serve on the board of The Dream Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to terminally ill adults, and C.O.A.C.H. for Kids, a mobile medical unit providing quality health care to under privileged families throughout Los Angeles. Public appearances and endorsements on behalf of a wide variety of corporate sponsors are a major part of Bruce's busy schedule. His first corporate relationship put him on the Wheaties cereal box for 7 successful years. Wheaties commemorated its 75th Anniversary by putting Bruce Jenner back on the front of the Wheaties box, along with other superstar athletes Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, for a new advertising campaign. Truly another priceless collectible. Bruce's passion as a motivational speaker has gained him national attention. He is in demand for companies such as Merck, Coca Cola, VISA, Anheuser Busch, MCI, Toyota, Kawasaki, Maytag, Mack Trucks, Chrysler and IBM Corporation just to name a few. He enjoys and encourages corporate involvement on many levels, whether it's a media tour, appearances at company meetings or full scale advertising campaigns. Corporate and community audiences are captivated by Bruce's unique Olympic, personal and professional success story, which he highlights in speeches around the world. His message, "Finding the Champion Within," is relevant to people everywhere, whether they're high school athletes or corporate Vice Presidents. Bruce's energy translates easily into his presentations and audiences are visibly moved by his story and the lessons that have made him a success. Bruce relates easily to a corporate audience because he's been there. His first experience in the corporate arena was during his early athletic days, when he sold insurance while training. Today he's a corporate President. Bruce is also a highly regarded and successful author. His most recent release entitled Finding the Champion Within is a motivational book from Simon and Schuster. His first book, Decathlon Challenge: Bruce Jenner's Story, appeared on the 1977 "Best Books for Young Adults" list put together by the American Library Association. In 1980, he authored Bruce Jenner's Viewers Guide to the Olympics, a handbook to the games, which was updated for the 1984 Summer Olympics. In 1984, he completed The Teenage Guide to Fitness. He's always had a firm commitment to youth, including the physically and mentally handicapped. Given his own battle with dyslexia, Bruce strives to further the efforts of agencies connected with learning disabilities. He has been one of several prominent Americans honored at The White House by the Washington D.C. based Lab School for Learning Disabilities. He is the recipient of the Celebrity Outreach Award for his continued extensive work assisting and aiding in charity fundraisers. A Sullivan Award winner for his outstanding performance as an amateur athlete and the "Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year," Bruce is continually recognized for his varied and extensive achievements. He was inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986 as well as the Bay Area Hall of Fame and Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. He is also a member of the Track and Field Hall of Fame. He has also been named one of the U.S. Jaycee's "Ten Outstanding Young Men in America" and voted "Father of the Year" by the Southern California Father's Day Committee. |
