Marilyn King is a 2-time Olympian in the Pentathlon. King 20-year athletic career includes five national titles and a World Record. While preparing for her third Olympics an auto accident rendered her unable to train-physically. Using only mental training, she placed second at the Moscow Trials. This extraordinary experience launched her exploration into the field of exceptional human performance. Her discovery of the three elements that are always present when ordinary people do extraordinary things led to the development of Olympian Technology™. The implications of her findings regarding human performance prompted Marilyn to immediately give up her prestigious head coaching position at the University of California, Berkeley, to found Beyond Sports. Over the past 20 years, Marilyn's high performance techniques have been incorporated by business seeking to empower employees, embrace change and provide global leadership. Through keynotes, training and consulting, Marilyn provides business leaders and educators with thinking tools that will serve them for a lifetime. Her work is a powerful example of applying skills learned through sports to the areas of business, education and peace. Marilyn has also presented at over 200 national and international education conferences with academicians and researchers who are designing schools of the future. She is the creator of an inner city Oakland youth empowerment program called "Dare to Imagine." Marilyn King's most pioneering work, a joint Russian-American venture called the Peace Team, prompted two invitations to speak at the United Nations. She is featured in numerous articles and books including, DreamMakers by Michele Hunt and Spirit of Champions by Lyle Nelson & Thom Bacon and appeared on the NewsHour With Jim Lehrer.
