Kevin Reilly Biography

Kevin Reilly is an inspirational keynote speaker and former National Football League (NFL) linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is also the oldest known surviving desmoid tumor patient in the world. The surgery, which saved his life, also led to the loss of his left arm, left shoulder and top four left ribs.

Life-saving surgery may have ended his professional football career, but Reilly refused to let the disease define his life. Today, he shares his remarkable story of how faith, family and fortitude kept this linebacker in the game. With over 30 years experience as a corporate executive, former athlete, amputee, and author, Reilly has a unique ability to inspire audiences in both their personal and professional lives.

Kevin Reilly Speaking Topics

  • Tackling Life: Resilience vs. Perseverance

    Drawn from Kevin Reilly’s "Tackling Life," this keynote explores resilience versus perseverance and what it takes to maintain growth and customer satisfaction. Exploring his time as captain of the Villanova football team and experience with the Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots, Kevin discusses the differences between physical and mental strength, and the importance of support systems.

    He emphasizes that perseverance is a gut check, while resilience is bouncing back from a knockout. He also addresses the conditions that cause customer dissatisfaction: comfort and complacency, noting that a dissatisfied customer tells 12 people about their visit.

    Drawing on examples from his personal journey, Kevin offers insights on:

    • Driving tremendous business growth
    • Improving customer satisfaction
    • Create consistency across your organization

  • Leadership by Example: Creating an Unstoppable Team

    Do you feel like your team isn’t making the cut?

    Through over 30 years as a corporate executive, Kevin Reilly has learned that people don’t care about how much someone knows until they know how much that person cares. This means that investing in people is essential.

    He is often surprised by how many individuals lack time management and cooperation skills. As he sees it, the only thing worse than training employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay.
