School Assemblies and Speaking Engagements
PTO’s, School Administrators, Teachers & Communities Can
Truly Benefit from this Unique Event

Overcome Any Obstacle and Get Back Up

Topics Covered; Inclusion, Anti-Bullying, Health & Wellness, Resilience, Achieving Your Goals and YES, Basketball

More than an assembly program, a real life lesson in overcoming obstacles and working to achieve your goals. If your school is seeking to motivate and engage your student body, Mike Simmel will do exactly that! Besides the fun, students are presented an educational message on such topics as everyday teamwork, respect, hard work, the value of healthy lifestyle, and kindness/anti-bullying.

Many communities have booked Mike for a full day going from 3 to 4 schools to promote his message. But a single assembly program can not only motivate your school community, but it will also teach very valuable life lessons in respect and overcoming life’s obstacles.

Imagine a speaker delivering a message so powerful and so compelling that in an hour or two he has almost magically transformed the lives of an audience forever.

Mighty Mike Simmel 

Performing Halftime Magic 

“Mighty Mike” Simmel has been on a roller coaster ride in life and he will take you and your audience on a journey through the ups and downs of living his dreams despite his many obstacles of being an adult having and thriving through a disability.  Your audience will be amazed when they learn that Mike is a person living with epilepsy.  They will learn that “being different is being great”.   As a young child, they will also learn that Mike could not skip or hop on one leg, had to wear a helmet, and was debilitated to special-ed gym class. Now he performs dazzling multi-basketball handling tricks that made him a successful player on the circuit for the Harlem Wizards basketball team for 13 years and at many high-profile events! The Mighty Mike message is that “everyone has an inner talent and we must find that talent, maximize it to its fullest potential and make a positive impact on the world.” Mike’s message will show how to lead and persevere through adversity. He will show each and every child how to reach their dreams and overcome adversity in their individual everyday lives!  He has taken the “dis” out of disability and made it into an “ability” to help others in life with his Bounce Out the Stigma Project.
