Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the NO PLAYS OFF SHOW?
The show typically runs 45-50 minutes, but I can adjust to fit your schedule
What age group is the show best for?
It’s designed for middle school, high school, and college athletes, but I can also adapt it for younger students in an assembly setting
Is this just a speech, or is there magic involved?
It’s both! The show blends motivational storytelling, jaw-dropping magic, and comedy to keep athletes engaged from start to finish.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes! The show is 100% self-contained—I bring my own sound system, tables, and everything needed to perform. You just provide the space and the audience
Can the message be customized for our team?
Absolutely. I’ll connect with your coach or coordinator beforehand to highlight the themes that matter most to your athletes.
What makes No Plays Off different from other motivational talks?
Most talks feel like lectures—mine feels like an experience. Athletes don’t just sit and listen, they laugh, participate, and see the message come alive through magic and storytelling. And as a former Division I athlete, I speak the same language players do—I’ve been in their shoes, and that connection makes the message hit deeper than it would from just another speaker.
