"Mike Flynt’s talk was both moving and inspirational…his message of determination and redemption mixed in with a lot of humor was both entertaining and motivating…no matter your age, you’ll enjoy Mike Flynt…"

“Mike did a superlative job when he spoke here in Houston at the monthly Oilfield Christian Fellowship luncheon held in the Houston First Baptist Church."

He is everything we look for in a speaker; sharing what his life was like before as a lost person and why/how he came to know Christ as his personal Savior, and then fulfilling a dream that few men in the history of sports have ever realized.
Mike is a man’s man. He is humble and yet comes across as the genuine man that he is.
His story needs to be repeated at men’s gatherings across the nation, as many men will easily identify with his life, and for a few moments will vicariously identify with his unprecedented success.
I highly recommend him as a speaker and promise that you will not be disappointed upon hearing his presentation or reading his excellent book, The Senior.”

Mike Flynt was super....great story! We really enjoyed listening to Mike. It is amazing where he came from in his family life, and how he got through it. He has a very strong message for both fathers and sons as they have a journey through this life together. Mike made me want to be a better father!

Today we are in a direr need of positive role models for our kids. Mike Flynt has the exact message that they need to hear. Someone needs to positively affirm to our children that they are uniquely gifted and their ability to succeed is limited only by what they hear from the outside.

"Mike Flynt’s story was fantastic! Mike’s childhood and upbringing were both sad but encouraging and hilarious in the way he presented it."

Mike then discovered who he really is as defined by His Creator God instead of his Dad. Then the story really gets good! It’s an unbelievable story of a 59-year-old man fulfilling his destiny as a linebacker at Sul Ross State University.
What an inspiration!
Thanks, Mike.

Mike – I received your book and could hardly put it down, great job.
I was excited that you accepted our invitation to speak at the NSCA National Conference at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. Your message was well received by the nation’s strength coaches. I didn’t realize your were such a great speaker. You provided not only an informative positive message for young athletes but it was also very motivational. I’m sure all groups would love to hear your story. I especially enjoyed the part about you coming off the football field to see your family near the sideline and seeing your grandson there to cheer you on. Good luck with all your projects and it was great to see you and get caught up a little bit at the conference.

"In late October of 2007 I read an inspirational story in the San Antonio Express News about a 59-year old man who returned to collegiate football in order to fulfill a lifelong dream."
In late October of 2007 I read an inspirational story in the San Antonio Express News about a 59-year old man who returned to collegiate football in order to fulfill a lifelong dream. Fact is, he walked onto the football team at Sul Ross State University and after many grueling two-a-day practices, he made the team. The story was exhilarating and I realized that this man, Mr. Mike Flynt, was the person that I had been looking for as my guest speaker at the annual football banquet. I contacted Mr. Flynt and asked him to speak at the banquet in mid December and Mike agreed. On December 12, 2007, he gave a wonderful, heartfelt speech at our annual Del Rio Ram Football Banquet in Del Rio, Texas. I was impressed to say the least and highly recommend Mike as a guest speaker at any event regardless of its purpose or content.
Following the banquet I received accolades from coaches, citizens and players as a result of Mike’s speech. He is a true small town hero and someone we should look upon whenever times are tough and we think all is lost. If everyone would look outside their window each morning with the same energy and enthusiasm as Mike Flynt, our days would be more productive and our world a happier place to live.

As I remembered Mike at Sully, he was a ball of fire and fury -a tough young man with a short fuse. When I met him again at the Baby Boomers Reunion I saw a difference in Mike that radiated throughout the room. This change made me feel very good. Someone planted a seed that grew. I saw a man that was filled with the sprit of Christ. He views this quest as a gift from God; I see it as mission of inspiration. Mike has brought many people together again that are proud of Mike and our school. I noticed Mike giving thanks for his meal and it moved me. This open exhibit of spiritual belief is a testimony for all of us that God can make a change in our lives and make our dreams come true.
