Keynote Speaker

David Vobora is a former NFL linebacker and founder of the Adaptive Training Foundation. After a career-ending injury and the dark chapter that followed, he reinvented his life around movement, service, and resilience—and now extends that mission through his foundation and “Life After” podcast, sharing stories that inspire grit, growth, and possibility.
Unconquerable Souls
UNCONQUERABLE SOULS is a call to the part of you that has been tested, stretched, humbled, and still chooses to show up. It is a reminder that the greatest measure of our lives is not what we have accomplished, but the lives we have touched, the hope we have carried into hard places, and the courage we have given someone else to keep going. As we honor ten years of ATPPS and the extraordinary difference this community has made, we will also ask a more personal question: what is still waiting to happen through you? Together, we’ll redefine the power of human connection, learn how to become hope-dealers in a world that desperately needs them, and leave with the clarity, courage, and the conviction to step into the next chapter, not because the work is finished, but because there are still people who need what only you can give.
