Gary Brackett

Gary Brackett was born with a love of competition and a will to win. By all accounts, he has already lived a life that most athletes (and even non-athletes) only dream of. If you know anything about football, it’s likely that you know his name from his time as a Super Bowl Champion and former NFL team captain. You may remember his impressive stats (he still holds the record for most individual tackles in a Super Bowl). But he is best known for his unwavering passion, unmatched energy, and unrelenting work ethic that transformed this “underdog” into a Captain of a World Championship Team.

Since his “retirement” from football, Brackett has continued tackling opportunities. After hanging up his jersey, he received his MBA from George Washington University and founded Brackett Restaurant Group. During his time as a restaurateur, he expanded a local restaurant brand from 2 locations to a regional chain of 10 stores with 7 franchisees. His experience, coupled with his obsession with uncovering “hacks” and “secrets” of the world’s most successful leaders and businesses, led him to create his own signature C.H.A.M.P framework. He uses this framework as a tool to guide his clients through actionable steps with measurable results, helping them align with their vision, become crystal clear on their desired outcomes, and unlock the champions within their organizations.

Brackett has mentored and empowered thousands of small business owners and professionals to realize their value, maximize their potential, and thrive in business and in life. He delivers keynote speeches on topics such as leadership, personal development, and entrepreneurship to prestigious organizations including the NFL Player’s Association, Humana, True U, and the Indianapolis Colts. His keynote speeches, including "Championship Level Performance," "Turning Adversity into Advantage," and "Being Your Best Self," focus on building and sustaining high-performing teams and transforming challenges into opportunities. Additionally, Brackett has ventured into the real estate sector, further showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit and versatile business acumen.
