Igniting Authenticy, unlocking resiliency and Inspiring Whole-Student Success
Caleb's journey from the NFL to the stage brings a powerful message of authenticity and resilience that empowers students to unlock their full potential and promote a culture of kindness and empathy.
“I can definitely say that this was one of the best assemblies we have had in recent years.”

Feeling the Pressure?
Today's fast-paced world places immense pressure on students, affecting every aspect of their lives.
The outcome?
Soaring stress, anxiety, and depression rates — leading to disengagement, decreased motivation, and escalating interpersonal conflicts.
So, how do we empower students with the tools to effectively manage this pressure—allowing them to cultivate resilience and unlock their potential for success, happiness, and well-being?
That's where my work and passion come into play — empowering students and schools to tackle this challenge head-on.
“Caleb’s message and his authentic delivery is one of, if not the best, assembly i have seen at a school in my career.
— Ashley, School Counselor, Valley High, UT
Hi, I’m Caleb!
Hi, I'm Caleb! As a West Point graduate, former Army Officer, and Ex-NFL Linebacker, I've always been driven to achieve and exceed expectations.
However, the immense pressure to excel took a toll on my mental health and well-being.
I've found that many of the 197,000 students I've reached over the years share a similar story.
These students strive to maximize their potential, exceed expectations, and perform at their highest level. Yet, the demands to excel, coupled with the struggle to manage stress and mental health challenges, result in significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and delinquent behaviors.
My work and passion, whether in-person or virtually, is to help students and faculty tackle this challenge. I empower students with mental strength tools and emotional skills to unlock their authenticity, achieve their best, and lead healthy, happy lives.
What People Are Saying
the Strongest Me will help students and staff…
Overcome Achievement Pressure
When students learn a growth mindset and develop mental strength, they are able to grow through the setbacks they will encounter and be better equipped to handle the inevitable stress and pressure they will face and perform at their best.
Grow In Resiliency
The goal isn’t to prevent uncomfortable emotions from happening—the goal is learning how to move from reacting to responding which will help them build emotional resiliency and experience less mental health challenges.
Create A Strong School Culture
Through the work of growing in mental strength and living emotionally honest lives, students feel less alone and grow in compassion, empathy and kindness. Strong students help create strong school culture.
The way Caleb connected with the students was a sight to see. We had 13 different schools and you had them all united as one in the end. To witness students be vulnerable and feel safe and secure enough to open up was a true testament to the connection Caleb had with them all. To truly connect to young adults, you need more than words, and Caleb did just that. This was an amazing experience—for both the students and the staff that were present.
