Tom Osborne, Athletic Director University of Nebraska | University of Nebraska - Lincoln
“I had the opportunity to hear Rohan Murphy address several Husker teams and was very impressed with his sincerity, passion, humor and candor. His story is one of perseverance, self-belief, sacrifice, work-ethic and determination. His real life story is a perspective changer as certainly we all face challenges, obstacles and adversity, most of which would pale in comparison to what Rohan has endured and overcome. Rohan has proven that ‘anything is possible’ and I believe his message made a memorable impact on our student-athletes that will motivate and inspire them to greater success.”
Rob Slauson, Principal | School Assembly
Please accept this letter as my recommendation and endorsement for the incredible assembly you brought to my school this fall. Rohan Murphy was the most outstanding speaker I have ever had the privilege to hear in my over twenty seven year career as an educator. I have never seen a young man capture the hearts and minds of over two thousand people assembled in a gymnasium for almost an hour. It was an unbelievable experience! You contacted me in July to let me know Rohan was coming to Nebraska. While I had not heard, about him you gave me just enough information to rouse my curiosity. I am a high school principal who is always looking for that next great opportunity for our staff and students. I was so excited when I began searching
Bernadette Kraljic, School teacher | School Assembly
I have been teaching for close to 30 years Rohan, this was one of the best days of my career. You have such a presence and grace about you when you speak. To be able to command the attention of 650 students was a testament to your skills as a speaker. I think that for many of our students who feel powerless, you made them feel empowered. I would be happy to recommend you to any agency, school or corporation. Feel free to contact us anytime as a reference if needed. Your message is so needed in today's world of instant gratification people have forgotten what drive, determination and attitude can do. All my best, Bernadette Kraljic
