A few months later, crippled by enemy rigfle fire and grenade wounds in both legs, Rocky Bleier faced his biggest challenge. He could barely walk ... he certainly couldn't run. To ever play professional football seemed impossible.
But Rocky Bleier did the impossible. The story of Bleier's agonizing two year battle and return ot the Pittsburgh Steelers is described in the book "Fighting Back", and recreated in the 1980 movie of the same name. The rest of his exciting 12-year career is history:
- How he pressed on to become on the the Steelers' top leading ground gainers
- How he passed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in one season
- How he contributed to four Super Bowl Victories
- How he consistently made the big play.
Rocky Bleier's ability to inspire effort and commitment from others continues. Rocky hs been active in the National Muliple Sclerosis Society and the International special Olympics. As a board member of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Rund, he helped make possible the Washington, CDC Memorial.
Rocky's special qualities have been recognized with the Whizzer White Humanitarian Award, the Vince Lombardi Award, and The Most Courageous Athlete of the Decade Award.
Rocky Bleier is in demand as a speaker, motivating audiences in a wide variety of organizations, corporations and universities. Bleier sees parallels between the challenges he faced in the past and challenges all business people face in today's crowded, competitive marketplace.
