Steve Wallace's Speaker Profile        Programs by Steve Wallace

 The Everyday Champion
3 Time Super Bowl Champion!

"I am the everyday guy that has to continue to fight to be successful."

Steve Wallace recalls himself as a “knucklehead” growing up. Now, the former National Football League lineman, two-time NFL pro bowler and three-time Super Bowl winner is a coach, speaker and author.

Those successes came with hard work. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Wallace is a Chamblee High School graduate who lettered in football, basketball and track. It was early in his life that he listened to a speaker talk about “trying” to do one’s best in everything they attempt. He made a decision that day to try to do his best in every aspect of his life and to always take one nugget from a speaker that he could apply to himself.

He began concentrating on his education realizing that “with education there are no limitations” resulting in improvements in his grades, football skills and numerous areas of his life. The result? High school football and basketball honors as well as having 57 leading colleges – including Florida State, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, UCLA, Auburn University and University of Wisconsin – attempt to recruit him.

Wallace accepted an athletic scholarship from Auburn and became a starter at 17 years old earning Lineman of the Year, All-South-Eastern Conference, All-Legends Team and Auburn’s Team of the Century – all NCAA awards. During that time he was a vital blocker for Bo Jackson during his Heisman Trophy winning year. In 1986, he graduated with a degree in Secondary Education in Mathematics and Psychology.

That same year he was drafted in the 4th round by the San Francisco 49ers playing with the team for 11 years. He played one season for the Kansas City Chiefs and earned such awards as 1st Team All-Pro, All-Madden and Community & Charity Player of the Year. As a pro with the 49ers he won 10 divisional championships and in only his third season he experienced his first (out of three) Super Bowl World Championship.

As the history of the game reflects, Steve Wallace is now considered the prototype for today's modern left tackle position in the NFL. His workman-like performance is described in the best-selling book "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" by Sports Illustrated author Michael Lewis. Although the book centers on current NFL tackle Michael Oher, Steve is prominently featured in the book as predecessor of what is often one of today's marquee players on NFL teams. "The Blind Side" has been turned into one of the blockbuster movies of 2009 and Steve incorporates the life lessons he learned as a member of three Super Bowl teams in his message as he speaks to leaders, professional athletes and students.

Wallace is now the owner of 10-year-old 3Rings Construction Company and is a Certified Homebuilder and Licensed Cabo Builder. He’s also a sought-after celebrity speaker who specializes in young sports teams, student athletes and student leaders. His home life is just as full as a husband to Vassar Wallace and father to their four children: Elle, Xaia, Steven Jr. and Keely.
