One of the most prestigious accomplishments in sports will always be attaining the Olympic gold medal.  Amanda Borden did just that as the team captain of the 1996 U.S.A. Women’s Gymnastics Team.  Along with Dominique Moceanu, Amy Chow, Jaycie Phelps, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller and Kerri Strug, the “Magnificent Seven” made history as they became the first women’s gymnastics team to win the gold medal.  The stage was set in Atlanta, Georgia as Amanda Borden led the Magnificent Seven to victory as they captured the hearts of friends, family, and her fellow Americans.  Amanda’s dream was now her reality.

The promise of a legacy she shared with six other finely tuned athletes that were close to her.  

The opportunity to give back to those who supported her on the journey to win the gold.

Through her competition years, Amanda developed a strict set of principles that would be the driving force for future success.  Today, those principles are still the backbone of her success.  Today, Amanda travels the country sharing her incredible story of victory with schools, colleges, associations, and corporations.  Through her presentations, Amanda has influenced people of all ages to strive to be the best that you can be, even in difficult times.  Her journey to the Olympic Gold was difficult but very rewarding.  The commitment level of an elite, world-class athlete is an everyday, all day thing.  Amanda showcases her success principles and gives the audience the nuts and bolts of rising above the trials and tribulations to find triumph waiting for those who pay a price to achieve a Gold Medal in their personal and professional life.
