Leadership Coaches COACH TERRY BOWDEN
• HEAD COACH AND TURN-AROUND SPECIALISTS
• MEMBER OF BOWDEN COACHING FAMILY
• SON OF LEGENDARY COACH BOBBY BOWDEN
Coach Terry Bowden has compiled a career record of 159-92-2 as a head
college football coach. Terry Bowden started his coaching career by build-
ing two programs from the ground up. At 26 years old, the youngest head
college football coach in the country, he turned around an 0-9-1 Salem Col-
lege team by winning the WVIA Conference Championship in just his sec-
ond season, and then repeating as Conference Champions the next year.
Bowden moved on to Samford University, a team that had won a total of
just six games in their previous three seasons, going 9-1 in his first season,
and setting many national records. He then engineered their move from
Division III non- scholarship football all the way directly to Division I-AA,
and within two years was competing for the national championship.
Terry Bowden then became the youngest head college football coach in the country again, when at age 36
he took over at Auburn University; where the Tigers were coming off of two straight non-winning seasons.
Winning his first 20 straight games, including an undefeated first season (the first coach in NCAA history to
do so in his inaugural season at the highest level of college football) both astonishing feats, especially in the
SEC; Bowden went on to win 73% of his games at Auburn. In his inaugural and perfect 11-0 season in 1993,
Terry swept virtually every national coach of the year award; including beating out his own father, Bobby
Bowden (who won his first National Championship that season) for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award.
After a 10 year career broadcasting college football for ABC, ESPN, and Westwood One, as well as writing for
Yahoo! Sports and Rivals.com, Coach Terry Bowden went back to his passion - coaching college football. As
the head coach at the University of North Alabama for three seasons, Coach Bowden compiled a 29-9 record
(76%), won the Gulf South Conference in 2009, and took the team to the NCAA Playoffs all three years.
When The University of Akron offered him their head coaching position in 2012, the Zips had won just 5
games in their previous 3 seasons; arguably one of the least successful programs in NCAA FBS Football. Terry
took the challenge; put together a staff full of veteran as well as young, up and coming coaches, and recruit-
ed a full slate of talented players in just 4 weeks before National Signing Day. In his 2nd season at Akron, Ter-
ry led the team to 5 victories - the most in a season at Akron in 9 years. Bowden has taken Akron's football
program from being 120th out of 120 teams in 2011, and in 2015 turned them into a Bowl Game winner.
A member of the winningest family in the history of College Football with a total of 626 wins between him-
self, his brother Tommy, and his father Bobby Bowden; building programs and winning seem to be a part of
his DNA. He has turned four losing programs into winners, and continued a winning tradition at a fifth.
Terry Bowden has proven his ability to discover the weaknesses and deficiencies in football programs at all
levels. He then puts together the right components (coaches, players, support staff) and implements the
proper strategies and game plans so that in a very short time frame, those changes translate into tangible
results - WINS.
Terry will share his knowledge and insights into building a winning team or organization through motivation,
leadership and teamwork. Using a balanced mix of his unique humor, relatable and entertaining stories, Ter-
ry leaves his audiences with real world skills to implement in their own businesses, careers, and lives.

Leadership Coaches SAMI JO SMALL
CANADIAN HOCKEY GOALIE
THREE-TIME OLYMPIC MEDALIST
Sami Jo Small grew up on the outdoor hockey rinks
of Winnipeg, MB. Her passion for the game was
honed in the boys minor hockey system. As the
only girl she was forced each and every day to
prove that she belonged through hard work and
determination. She dreamt, like her teammates, of
someday playing in the NHL, but also dreamt of
someday stepping on to the podium at the Olym-
pic Games.
She accepted a scholarship to Stanford University
for track and field to throw the discus and javelin.
Her dream of participating in the Olympic Games flourished until injury plagued her career and she consoled
her feelings of failure by returning to the game she grew up loving. Hockey became her passion again as she
played on the Stanford Men’s team even garnering PAC-10 MVP honors while earning her degree in mechani-
cal engineering.
Her childhood dream became a reality when she accepted a spot on the 1998 Olympic Games team traveling
to Nagano, Japan. Women’s hockey was on the rise and Sami Jo was a huge part of its success. She has since
won five World Championships and has twice been named Championship MVP. She is a three time Olympian
and has been a member of two Olympic Gold Medal Winning teams.
Sami Jo played an important role in starting the Canadian Women's Hockey League where she played elite
hockey for the Toronto Furies. Sami was recently named General Manager for the Furies.
Sami Jo currently works as a motivational speaker as well is an owner of a hockey school that runs through-
out four provinces.
A Vital Lesson in Teamwork: Embracing Whatever Role You're Given
Sami Jo Small shares a frank and pragmatic message of adjusting to whatever life throws at you, at any
time; of making the most of a situation that is at direct odds of how you had imagined things turning out.
“In life,” says Sami Jo, “you never know what you’re preparing for. You don’t always get to choose the role
you play, but you do get to choose how you play it.”
