The Stand Up Young Men’s Conference, which marked its third year on Wednesday, May 2, 2012. The conference brings hundreds of students from at-risk communities throughout downtown Toronto and the surrounding area with positive black role models and mentors.
For the second year in a row, we were blessed to attend, record parts of and take pictures at the Stand Up Young Men’s Conference.
One of the highlight’s of this year’s conference was the keynote presentation given by Michael “Pinball” Clemons.
Renowned as one of pro football’s most electrifying players, Toronto Argonauts running back Michael “Pinball” Clemons was the CFL’s all-time all purpose yardage leader. However, it is his exceptional character, in addition to his outstanding athletic ability, that has made him the remarkable fan favourite throughout Canada.
Pinball’s tireless community involvement and participation in countless charitable causes exemplify the qualities he possesses, which are so rarely found in today’s professional athletes. He has used his superb leadership and communication skills in his former roles of Coach, President and CEO of the Toronto Argonauts – and now as the vice-chairman of the franchise. In 2001, Clemons was honoured with the Order of Ontario, and he was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
Pinball’s presentations are at once captivating and empowering, and clearly demonstrate the capabilities of teamwork. Pinball inspires his audiences by illustrating what is possible and what it means to beat the odds. Pinball communicates his heartfelt stories with a passionate spirit and his patented, contagious smile. Organizations respond to his presentations with rave reviews and overwhelming enthusiasm.
Michael founded and heads the Michael “Pinball” Clemons Foundation, committed to providing the resources to quicken education and build character among youth through projects around the globe.
We hope that your enjoy listening to Michael “Pinball” Clemons talk,
“Finding Your Sweet Spot In Life … It Is Possible”.
