"Yogi Roth is a force of nature. Every time I sit with him by the end of the conversation I am ready to jump out of my seat and attack life. He is so special I insisted he address my company. I never looked so smart in front of my organization as I did after Yogi's presentation!"
-PMK*BNC"Yogi’s positive energy is evident the second he walks into a room. He fully engages an audience in his stories, in the questions he asks, and in the on-the-spot coaching he provides. He is a key part of one of our ongoing programs, and we get consistently positive feedback every time he works with us. Because he genuinely cares about helping people see their place in the world differently, I look for opportunities to bring him in as a speaker. Yogi is one of the most dynamic people I know."
-Dignity Health"I've met a lot of interesting folks in 15 years of covering college sports. Yogi Roth is right near the top of that list. He is without a doubt the most optimistic, relentlessly positive person I've ever met. He's got the spirit to try anything and, in an uncanny, um, Yogi Roth-way, he usually makes it happen. He also has been blessed with the capacity to fit so effortlessly into any situation or group. Reading his story provided a great window into how he got to have such a unique view of the world."
-Bruce Feldman, Award-Winning College Football Writer/Reporter, FOX Sports"Yogi personifies what it means to live life without limits. As a hopeless optimist, profound documentarian, TV show Host, National Best Selling Author, Professional storytelling adventure-er; he refuses to be defined by any one of the incredible things he’s accomplished. And despite always being the most interesting person in the room, it’s his commitment to inspiring others to achieve their dreams that ironically leaves everyone in the room thinking they are the most interesting person. It’s his humility, his insatiable curiosity about the human experience, his compassion and his enthusiasm for life that always evoke an unforgettable “Yogi Roth” contagiousness. Guys want to be him. Girls want to be with him. He’s the guy that takes your breath away. Every. Single. Time."
-Alexis Jones, Founder & Author, Protecther & I Am That Girl"The only thing I value more than Yogi’s energy and enthusiasm towards football is our friendship. He once asked me, ‘Mark–who are you?’ At first I thought it was rhetorical, but then he demanded an answer! That moment taught me a lot about myself. He was always there for me from red zone blitzes to life advice and for that, I am eternally grateful."
-Quarterback Mark Sanchez"All of Roth’s different projects share one commonality: They’re primarily driven by his passion for storytelling…that originally motivated LIFE IN A WALK."
-Daily Trojan"I’m not afraid to admit it, I cried when I talked to Yogi. I wasn’t really expecting to, but I guess he touched a nerve…It’s a film about fathers and sons, how we connect and how we sometimes don’t…If you haven’t already done so today, take a walk…Connect with loved ones. Call your dad. Seriously, call him."
-Men's Health"Roth decided to turn his footage into a documentary project, aimed at creating a movement that encourages people to find opportunities to ask their loved ones the questions they’ve always wanted the answers to."
-USA Today"Yogi = a rare mix of acute & courageous sojourner + human catalyst + MENSCH!"
-Social Change"Yogi Roth knows his stuff. The Pac-12 Networks football analyst can break down X’s and O’s with any commentator in the country."
-Arizona Daily Star"Today was just outstanding. I had our entire football team, coaches, strength staff, academic staff, and our athletics director in attendance for his presentation. Yogi was able to actively engage every member of our program during his talk. He started our players and staff on a path of thinking differently about several different topics. I was simply “blown away”! As a coach you are always trying to find ways to help your players grow as men. Yogi was able to get them to share of themselves and talk about some tough topics. His energy was contagious, and his message was something everyone will internalize and grow from. It was amazing to be a part of it!"

What’s Your Story?
In life, and specifically life on social media, we are often told who we are by other voices, tweets & many who do not know the essence underneath our ‘uniform.' Once we get to know our ’story’ we can represent ourselves in our purest form and use various platforms to share who we are and what we want our impact on the world to be. YOGI ROTH, who has worked in college football for over 20 years and won various storytelling awards, will guide you toward finding the starting point in your story and putting it together to support your dreams.
Always Compete
The word ‘compete’ is often described as ’striving against’ an opponent but the Latin root of the word means to ’strive together.’ Where did we go wrong? How do we view our competitive world and our competitive story? YOGI ROTH learned from one of the words elite competitors, Pete Carroll, and with that foundation has helped countless companies, universities and high performing individuals explore their potential and maximize it in their competitive culture.
