The Champion’s Creed Book

Preface by Tony Dungy

In The Champion’s Creed, NFL star and Chief Culture Officer Ben Utecht unveils the blueprint for forging unbeatable culture and teams in any arena. Central to Utecht’s methodology is the creation of a “Culture Creed”―a dynamic manifesto that transcends typical mission statements.

We just had Ben speak at an event this week, all I can say is wow, he is so inspiring! Ben spoke to our global team and I have so many emails and messages thanking me and telling me how much they enjoyed his talk. I have seen Ben speak in person and this time was virtual. Even being remote, he’s so authentic and somehow can make that connection just like he is there in front of you. I highly recommend hiring Ben if you want to give your team a little inspiration boost (which we all seem to need these days!) Thanks Ben! The team loved every minute!

Ben genuinely aimed to make each person feel special. Ben’s keynote speech moved the audience from laughter to tears to standing ovation! Afterwards men commented “he was one of the best speakers yet!” and “good luck topping that!”. Ben was so easy to work with and very accommodating.
Rachel Amiot, Event Planner, Tri-County Health Care
Ben did a fantastic job. On our program evaluation from the participants, he scored a 9.1 on a 10 point scale. He scored higher than Dr. Omalu. Our board chair said “he hit it out of the park”.
Cathy Morrow, Senior Director, Tri-County Health Care
Ben provided a great message to our group of financial representatives. He was engaging by providing humor alongside the seriousness of his story of perseverance in working to overcome injuries that took him down a different path he never imagined. He was inspiring to all! Ben received an average of 9 out of 10 on our post-event survey. During the planning process, Ben was great to work with. He took the time to get to know his audience and our organization and was able to weave in messages that were relevant to the group. I appreciated that Ben was very down to earth! I would definitely work with him again and would recommend him to others.
Jessica Schuppe, Field Operations Manager, E Minnesota/NW Wisconsin Region, Thrivent
His speech today was spot-on for building a winning culture, but what made the difference was his warmth and personal presence that exuded with each and every person he met. Ben took his time to answer questions from the audience and made sure everyone got an autograph and photo. He was incredibly humble and made sure our guests were well entertained and got what they needed from him before leaving. We are so grateful and proud of Ben’s efforts today. He was an amazing ambassador for the NFL, but more importantly of a husband, father and true champion.
