Ditka has won three Super Bowls, one as a player, one as an assistant coach, and one as a head coach for the 1985 Chicago Bears.

His name is synonymous with the Chicago Bears. He is often referred to as "Da Coach or Iron Mike" in movies and commercials. Today, Ditka shares his drive and team-building skills with audiences across the country.

In his presentations "ACE" - Attitude, Character and Enthusiasm, he shares the lessons learned in a life of commitment and attention to the fundamentals - resulting in victory. He delivers a powerful presentation that highlights the key characteristics people need to achieve their personal and professional goals. Join us this year in San Diego to enjoy his presentation.
