WALTER BOND
Inspirational and motivational speaker,
former sports star
Walter Bond Seminars, Inc.

Advertised on his Web site as a combination of "the sports success of Magic Johnson with the insight of Dr. Phil and the attitude of American Idol's Simon Cowell," Walter Bond credits his current accomplishments as a national inspirational and motivational speaker to athletics.
