Profile

Jake Olson Biography

Jake Olson, a resident of Huntington Beach, California, and a graduate of the University of Southern California (USC), has faced extraordinary challenges since being diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer, retinoblastoma, at just 8 months old. The disease led to the loss of his left eye at 10 months and his right eye at age 12, after a long battle with cancer. Throughout these hardships, he has maintained a strong faith and determination.

Olson has channeled his experiences into a variety of impactful endeavors. He is a published author of two books and a motivational speaker, using his platform to inspire and motivate a wide audience. Additionally, he established a non-profit foundation aimed at assisting visually impaired children and supporting cancer research, leveraging his personal journey to foster support and awareness for these causes.

During his time at USC, Olson achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first completely blind Division I college football player. His debut in USC’s home opener on September 2, 2017, earned him the title of Pac-12 special teams' player of the week. His ability to successfully execute three PAT snaps during his college career has solidified his place as one of the top two most inspirational stories in the 150-year history of college football. His story has garnered attention from major media networks including ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX, as well as top publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, and The Washington Post, reflecting the wide-reaching impact of his journey.

Beyond football, Olson is an accomplished golfer, often competing in adaptive golf championships. He also co-founded Engage, an online platform that streamlines the process of booking talent for events and experiences.

Jake Olson Speaking Topics

Finding the Setup in the Setback

Jake Olson shares his incredible life journey of battling cancer eight times, going blind at the age of 12, and making history in athletics, business and more. Using a mix of personal stories, a lot of humor, and some unique life philosophies, Jake helps audience members change how they perceive adversity. He helps audiences realize that often what feels like a big setback can be a setup for something much greater in life if they take the right approach to confronting their adversity. During this talk audiences will laugh, think, and maybe cry a little bit. They will leave more grateful and with an entirely new way to perceive and tackle adversity. This talk is a huge hit for sales teams, schools, and anyone trying to help their team develop more grit, level up in their business, or improve their perspective and accountability.
Finding A Way - How An Inclusive Culture Makes Teams Better

Cancer may have taken Jake Olson's eysight at age twelve, but it did not take his will to achieve. In this talk, Jake discusses how the will to succeed was his, but because of his blindness, he needed to find a different way to achieve his goals. That way was leaning on other incredible people around him who were willing to adapt and meet Jake where he was. Whether it was a math teacher learning braille to better teach him, coaches devising a whole new scheme for long snapping so he could play football, or his colleagues helping him use the newest technology so he could excel in his work, Jake know first hand how impactful being surrounded by inclusive people is. He also knows that everyone is better off from it in the end. In this talk, Jake talks about how DEI can make teams better and that amazing things happen when coworkers recognize the will of their teammates and work to help them find a way.
