Caleb Campbell

Once known as “America’s Athlete”, Caleb Campbell is a West Point graduate and former Army officer who became the second player in the history of West Point to ever be selected in the NFL draft and the first player, under a new policy implemented by the Department of Defense (DOD), given the permission to play and serve simultaneously.

Caleb’s dream came to a halt when the DOD rescinded that policy hours before signing his first NFL contract–launching him into his own internal war that would almost cost him his life. While serving his country, Caleb kept his NFL dream alive and eventually found himself playing in the NFL–demonstrating to audiences everywhere how facing our fears, committing to mental and emotional health and staying authentic will make us stronger—even in our weakest moments.

Today, as an inspirational speaker on burnout, mental health, and leadership, Caleb uses his story to connect with audiences who are running on empty, trying to meet relentless demands in a world that refuses to slow down. But most importantly, he offers an actionable and transformative framework that helps others unlock the courage to face the inevitable discomfort and turn life’s pressures into a pathway to something greater–transforming not just how we lead, but the overall quality of our lives.
