After losing both of his legs during the Vietnam War, Bob Wieland has been an inspiration to anyone he has come in contact with. In fact, People Magazine called Wieland "one of the six most amazing Americans of the past 20 years." Weiland is known as one of America's most courageous and most powerful speakers!
Fee Range :
$10,001 - $20,000
While studying at the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse, Bob Wieland began negotiating a contract to pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 1969, however, Wieland's future with the Phillies was interrupted when he was summoned to Vietnam. In Vietnam, Wieland stepped on an 82mm mortar round while attempting to aid one of his fellow soldiers that was wounded. He was pronounced DOA (dead on arrival) at the hospital but somehow pulled through.
Wieland has both biked and walked across America...with no legs. Through seemingly insurmountable adversity, Bob has persevered. From his miraculous recovery in the hospital, to his three-year, eight-month and six-day walk across America on his hands, Bob has proved his message that "Through faith in God, determination, and dedication, a person can achieve anything."
Among his many accomplishments, Wieland is the only double amputee to coach in the National Football League; he shattered the world record for the bench press in his weight division four times, defeating fully able-bodied men; and finally, Weiland completed the grueling Iron Man Triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26-mile marathon) on his arms. Weiland, simply put, lives the messages of his presentations.
His programs include: One Step At A Time, Commando Warriors Are the Real World!, How To Be Up When You're Down, Beating The Odds and Strive For Success.
