Former NFL Player To Speak At Pikeville College.
The community is invited to join Pikeville College for a special chapel service featuring inspirational speaker Shawn Harper on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 11 a.m. in Booth Auditorium, Record Memorial Building.
A featured speaker in the Greater Mountain Crusade for Christ event, Harper is regarded as one of the top up-and-coming inspirational speakers in the country. A former college and seven-year professional football player, Harper uses wit, humor, feats of strength, and his NFL experiences to draw and captivate his audience before delivering an earth-shaking message of motivation, encouragement, and hope.
“You’re not born winners or losers; you’re born choosers,” says Harper.
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Harper faced insurmountable odds, including learning disabilities, poverty, speech challenges and having the lowest GPA in his senior class. He rose from an average football player to graduating from college and winning several national achievement awards. Harper played seven years in the NFL, blocking for two Heisman trophy candidates and two all-pro running backs. Shawn is currently CEO of American Services and Protection in Columbus.
