Peter Vidmar became the premier male gymnast for the United States at the 1984 Olympics. As USA team captain, he led his teammates to their stunning gold medal victory over the Peoples Republic of China. Peter went on to win the Silver Medal in the all-around com­petition, making him the only American male ever to do so. And with a perfect score of 10, he also captured the Gold Medal on the pommel horse. A member of the US Olympic Hall of Fame, Peter is the highest scoring US male gymnast in Olympic history. As one reporter put it, "No US gymnast has ever come so close to perfection."
 
Since his Olympic triumphs, Peter has worked as the gymnastics announcer for CBS Sports, served on the boards of USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic Committee, and has been appointed to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports as well as the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, And he has become well-known as a motivator of America's top corporations and associations.
 
Very few speakers can motivate an audience like Peter Vidmar. His presentations are truly powerful. He is a terrific speaker and performer. You won't see a suit and tie, but you will see that he backs up his thoughts with live demonstrations on the pommel horse that are artfully blended into his speech. This visual reinforcement of his powerful principles leaves lasting impressions. Humor, relevance to his audience, high energy, drama, and a standing ovation are all characteristic of his presentations, Maybe that's why Successful Meetings magazine has listed Peter Vidmar as one of the top ten speakers in the country.  Peter is in great demand for motivational presentations and trade show demonstrations.

Converting Olympic Gold Into Corporate Wisdom Enough Gold to Go Around
ROV   RISK, ORIGINALITY AND VIRTUOSITY

What separates the best from the rest? How do you work harder when you think you're already giving it your all? How do you deal with setbacks when you know "you could have won"? How much of a risk should you take? Can you really perfect what you do? These are the questions Peter and his teammates had to answer. Peter's presen­tation on RISK, ORIGINALITY, and VIRTUOSITY answers these ques­tions and vividly describes the requirements for "The Perfect 10." Peter uses the ROV principles and corresponding pommel horse dem­onstrations to motivate, uplift, and entertain, He goes all out every time to make sure audiences gain fresh perspectives while thoroughly enjoying the experience. His is truly a world class performance.
