Ruben has an incredible story. He was always the last kid picked to play sports in PE. When he was 21 years old he decided he wanted to compete in the next Winter Olympics. He lived in Houston at the time. Didn't even know what snow looked like. He went to Lake Placid, took up the sport of luge and four years and a few broken bones later he was competing in the Calgary Olympics. He went on to become the first person to ever compete in four Winter Olympics each in a different decade.

As he jokingly says, "It doesn't mean he's good, it just means he's old!" He competed in the Vancouver at the age of 47. Everybody thought he was a coach! But seriously, his story takes people's excuses away because he's an ordinary guy who did some extraordinary things.

Ruben sold copiers in downtown Houston for several years. He regularly speaks for sales kickoffs all around the world. In addition to selling copiers, Ruben sold paper shredders. He tells a story about how he knocked on every door of every floor of every building in downtown Houston many times. The only building he could never get into was the Enron building because it had such tight security. He always wondered what was going on in there. Now that he knows, he thinks that he could have sold them a million dollars worth of paper shredders!

Leadership Secrets of a Four-Time Olympian
When Ruben got started in the luge he thought he could do it all himself. Along the way Ruben realized that he would need help. He needed coaches, sled mechanics, doctors, chiropractors, financial assistance, etc. He needed to learn some leadership skills and create a team of people. Ruben was able to create a Dream Team and by working through his team he was able to realize his Olympic dream. Ruben believes leaders are trustworthy and passionate about their mission. Those two attributes make people want to follow a leader.

Teamwork Secrets of a Four-Time Olympian
Ruben trained for years as part of an international team made up of lugers from many different countries. Even though they competed against each other at World Cup races, European Championships, World Championships and the Olympics, they understood that their best chance was to work together and help each other out during the training week. This is because they were competing against powerhouse teams from Germany, Italy, Russia and Austria that would eat their lunch if they did not stick together.

You will always accomplish more working as part of a team than trying to be a lone wolf.

Overcoming Challenges

He's an ordinary man who accomplished the extraordinary and THAT'S what makes him special. Because people in his audiences relate to Ruben and after hearing him are inspired to go the extra mile and fight for their goals and dreams.
