Inspirational Motivational Speakers: Mary Alice Hill Women Motivational Speaker in Sports

By Jean-Pierre Prieur


Achievement, character, determination, pride, a profound story, these are all the things that you look for in a great motivational speaker and Mary Alice Hill has all of these things. As a pioneering athlete, coach, and administrator she has fought for equality and equal rights in sports for women all over the country. She has coached at the Olympic level and been a part of landmark Title IX cases in the nations courts. She sets a great example for women everywhere.

As an Olympic sports trainer you need great strength of character as well as knowledge in order to craft athletes with talent into finely tuned athletic machines. Mary Alice Hill has successfully trained athletes at the collegiate level at Colorado State University and she has trained four record setting athletes on the Olympic level. In order to get athletes to buy into her coaching style and give her the best results Hill had to motivate and inspire her athletes to push themselves and get the best out of themselves.

As of the present, Hill became the athletic director of many well known universities in the country such as San Diego State University. This position is regarded highly as it requires not only years of coaching experience but also a highly regarded standing in the field. The university administration definitely noticed this as they offered the job themselves to Hill entrusting the management of recreational activities and sports as well as encouragement to the university's team and student body.

Women have always had less freedom when it came to sports though society does not openly acknowledge or discuss the issue. There are as much right for women to enjoy baseball, soccer and any other sports as men would. Sports is not just a form of entertainment but a way to get in touch with one's culture or represent one's country. It has become such an essential part of people's lives even to women. This is why it is important to have women stand up just as Hill did to let others become aware of the impact of gender inequality. Fortunately for women all over the world, this gap between men and women is continually dwindling thanks to actions by people such as that of Hill.

Hill went on to prove not only in the state of Colorado but to the entire US those women should have the same freedom in sports when she filed the Title IX sex discrimination lawsuit against the state university. The judge ruled in favor of her and Hill's first true success was with the change in the rules employed in colleges and universities with regards to athletes. This included the availability of scholarships for promising young women athletes and the chance to join varsity teams for competitions.

There are many benefits to listening to an inspirational speaker like Mary Alice Hill. Having your team or organization listen to such a motivational speaker will help motivate your team to do better and bond them together. Her character, her story, and her determination in the face of unfair practices will inspire all those who hear her words and help them succeed at life.
