"I don't know that it's right that athletes have the influence they do, but the fact is they have it. Those of us who understand that and walk in that realm have a tremendous opportunity and a significant responsibility to use our platform of influence to make a positive difference. We ignite hope for those who need it and make ambassadors of those who have it."

Judy's fingerprint extends across 16 nations. Her non-negotiable mantra "it's all about relationship" has uniquely positioned her as a mentor to hundreds of athletes and coaches, and a trusted visionary partner to national teams, international sports federations, Olympic committees, and numerous community influencers. Her instinctive ability to connect with audiences of all contexts distinguishes her as a sought-after speaker for team and business leadership events, including Ziglar, Inc.'s Monday Morning Devotional for business professionals.

"In a world of compromise and decaying moral standards, it is refreshing when you come across an individual who has dedicated her life to living at a standard that is high enough for others to look up to, but close enough for them to reach."
