Speaker & Booking Information
Motivational Sports Speaker
As a forward for Louisiana Tech University, Cheryl Ford had a standout career from 2000-2003 where she was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year in both 2002 and 2003. Following the 2003 college season, Ford was drafted with the #3 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock. Ford made an immediate impact on the Shock, taking the team from the worst WNBA record to the WNBA Championship and a WNBA Rookie of the Year Title. From 2003-2009, Ford was selected to 4 All-Star Games while winning 3 WNBA Championships as well as 2 WNBA Rebounding Crowns. Throughout that span, Ford fell just short of averaging a career double-double with 10.8 ppg and 9.7 rpg. After departing from Detroit, Ford spent several seasons in European Leagues before returning to the WNBA in 2013 with the New York Liberty for one season.

The NBA is globally one of the most popular sports in the world, which make basketball speakers in-demand talent. Corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired NBA player, coach, or broadcaster at their event. Basketball speakers impart lessons from their careers at in-person speaking engagements, virtual events, and other types of meetings. The topics they speak on most often include leadership, teamwork and overcoming adversity.
Professional female athletes have become a major part of the sports world over the past several years. Women continue to reach new heights of popularity on and off the field by setting records and breaking social barriers. Examples of these extraordinary achievements include Serena Williams as the face of tennis, Jessica Mendoza being the first female broadcaster for Major League Baseball and Becky Hammon being the first female basketball coach in the NBA. As female athlete speakers continue to increase in popularity, corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, women’s groups and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired professional female athlete, coach or broadcaster at their event. Whether it be a speaking engagement, virtual meeting, trade show appearance, VIP Meet and greet, product endorsement or other events, the team at Athlete Speakers will work with your group or organization to find the perfect professional female athlete speakers.
