Sylvester “Sly” Williams is a former NFL player, Super Bowl champion, entrepreneur, and investor. Sly has dedicated his post NFL career to inspiring others to live like a champion through his motivational speaking and 5 pillars of championship life philosophy. Although, Sly has mastered winning at life, his road to success was not a walk in the park.
Sly grew up in St. Louis, Missouri with parents who struggled with drug addiction. In Sly’s adolescent years, his mother was in-and-out of rehab, leaving his father to raise their three children alone. Sylvester Sr. was a stand-up guy and his children was his number one priority; and although, Sly’s father taught him valuable lessons that aided him through life, he still had many struggles and obstacles to overcome on his journey to greatness. From getting into to physical altercations, being held back in the first grade, to kicked out of the 8th and 10th grade, and recommended to receive his GED—Sly’s championship mentality never left him.
In the eleventh grade, Sly decided to reenroll in school and earn his high school diploma. After high school he got a job working in a radiator factory making $400 a week. It was not long after he started the job that he realized factory work was not the life for him. Williams packed his bags and headed to Coffeyville, KS to be a walk-on before earning a full ride scholarship to the University of North Carolina before becoming a 1st round draft pick.
