 Engaging a sports athlete has many advantages. Most inspire, motivate and entertain. Terry brings those attributes with an added show stopper. Every weekend Terry, and the rest of the pit crew for Elliott Sadlers Nextel Cup Dodge, get Sadler in and out of the pits. During the week, or on an off weekend, he can bring his pit equipment to you and demonstrate the working of a pit stop. The equipment includes his impact wrench, tires, lug nuts, nitrogen, a replica NASCAR front quarter panel and suspension. The impact wrench (gun) is roaring at 10,000 rpm, lug nuts are flying, and your eyes can barely keep up with his hands. Terry will explain as much about the sport as you desire, as well as using analogies that relate to your business processes and objectives. If you have the inclination, a few members of your group may be challenged to take over the impact wrench and tires to perform a pit stop. Do you think they will be able to come close to Terry’s time? Having been involved in the sport for over 10 years, and coaching the best of the best in the sport, there is no one more qualified to take questions and answers from your guests. Motor sports racing is the fastest growing spectator sport in the world and the necessity of team, efficiency, and performance to be successful has captured the interest of individuals, groups, and businesses alike. The concepts of teamwork, efficiency, and quality management are not new to the corporate or industrial workplace. Terry uses the excitement of motor sports racing to capture the attention and understanding of today’s managers and employees. This one of a kind program draws parallels between success in racing and success in industry. This demonstration correlates the concepts of team development and performance standards of motor sports racing, with that of corporate and industrial associates.

While you are watching his hands move so fast your eyes can barely keep up, Terry explains the mechanics, efficiency, practice, and mental focus that has helped make him one of the worlds best.

 Not only is Terry a tire changer, he is an instructor and coach. There are 43 cars on the track each weekend racing in Nextel Cup. Terry has taught or coached pit crew members on at least 19 of those teams. Why has he been so successful imparting to others what it takes to perform at the highest level?
