Brian Holloway

“The true competitor in today’s global marketplace, no longer measures success by incremental gains - the sole criterion for measuring performance is winning market share”

Stanford All-American, 5 time All-Pro and premier front line competitor, Brian Holloway the 6’7”, 3201b powerhouse excelled as the team captain of the 1985 New England Patriots Super Bowl team. In 1986, Brian was elected by his peers to forge the new direction of NFL policy, becoming the youngest Vice- President of the NFL Players Association at age 23.

He retired from the NFL in 1992 after eight seasons with the Patriots and two with the Los Angeles Raiders, but look for his distinguished football accomplishments to someday be recorded in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

They are based on practical disciplines and proven results, not cold management theories that do not reach the people.

He has testified before Congress, guest lectured at Harvard University Business School and been the featured speaker at the Stanford University Centennial Celebration.

Born into an Air Force family in Omaha, Nebraska on July 25,1959, Brian grew up to face and overcome many challenges - his youth spent adjusting to life in 12 different states, even before being labeled a “slow learner”. Persistence and unstoppable spirit and a learned system of achieving desired results, propelled Brian through his early struggles and on to academic and athletic awards through his high school and college years.

He was heavily recruited by USC, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Miami as well as Dartmouth, Yale, Princeton, and Harvard. He chose Stanford University and earned varsity letters in both football and track there under head coach Bill Walsh. Brian graduated on time majoring in Economics and Communications.

Brian’s commitment to community service grew throughout his playing days, when he helped develop the first College Degree Completion Program for Professional Athletes. Beyond the game, he helped establish the Challenger Center for Space Science Education - a living memorial to the ill-fated crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger. His community activism embraces inner city youth and he actively supports Special Olympics.

Brian maintains a seat on the Stanford Athletic Board and also shares his energy with D.A.R.E., the United Way, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

President Bill Clinton recognized Brian Holloway in 1995 as one of America’s top young leaders.
