Mighty Mike
Simmel has been on a roller coaster ride in life and he will take you and your audience on a journey through the ups and downs
of living his dreams despite his many obstacles. Your audience will be amazed
when they learn that Mike is a person living with epilepsy. As a young child,
they will also learn that Mike could not skip or hop on one leg, was debilitated to special-ed gym class, only then to now
see him perform dazzling multi-basketball handling tricks that has made him a successful player on the circuit for the Harlem
Wizards basketball team and at high profile events! The Mighty Mike message is
that “everyone has an inner talent and we must find that talent, maximize it to its fullest potential and make a positive
impact on the world.” Mike's message will show how to lead and persevere
through adversity. He will show each and every child how to Bounce Out the Stigma™
in their individual everyday lives!
The 45 minute
to hour-long show will condense an interactive basketball show with the themes of healthy living, anti-bullying and confidence
building. Your audience will learn that self-belief and determination can turn debilitating effects of failure into success.
The lessons show that each child no matter what affliction they may face can use a positive outlet and "bounce" out any stigmas
attached for a better tomorrow. Mike's teaching will combine both the substance
and style that has made Mike very successful speaking at events for the Epilepsy Foundation of America and its many affiliates,
National Pharmaceutical Companies, various school programs and at top colleges on the summer basketball camp circuit. Everyone will feel motivated with the purpose to accomplish something positive in
and out of the classroom. If your audience loves music, fun, sports and high
energy, this is definitely the program for you!
