About walter

Walter Bond isn’t just another speaker telling stories about NBA players—he was one.
While others build their careers talking about the game from the sidelines, Walter earned his place on the court. His story didn’t begin with fame or highlight reels—it began on the bench at the University of Minnesota, overlooked and underestimated.
But he refused to let that be the end of his story.
Fueled by relentless accountability, unshakable belief, and an unstoppable work ethic, Walter made history—becoming the first undrafted rookie free agent to start on opening night for the Dallas Mavericks.
He didn’t just change his performance—he transformed his mindset. And now, he shows audiences how to do the same: think like a pro, lead like a champion, and win—no matter the arena.

What it means for your event:

With the rare perspective of both professional sports and business, Walter delivers a message that connects, challenges and transforms—like no other speaker in the world.
Cut from the NBA with no corporate résumé and no “Plan B,” Walter could have faded into the background. Instead, he and his wife Antoinette tapped into the same championship mindset—and together, they founded Peak Performers Huddle, a world-class training and development company empowering individuals and organizations to perform at the highest level.
Today, Walter Bond is a Hall of Fame motivational speaker, global thought leader, and trusted business advisor to elite teams across every industry.
He’s living proof that greatness doesn’t come from titles—it comes from the ability to recalibrate, refocus, and rise.
