Ben Malcolmson
Author, speaker, and mentor, Ben Malcolmson has been the right-hand man to Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll for the last 14 seasons. During his college years at USC, Ben was a student newspaper reporter for the Daily Trojan who tried out for the top-ranked football team simply to write a first-person account of the walk-on tryout process. Having not played football since 5th grade, he surprised himself and countless others when he got the call that he had earned a roster spot as a wide receiver on the 2006 Trojans. After his one fairytale season ended, he became Director of Online Media for USC Football, where he created and managed the groundbreaking online presence for Pete Carroll and the Trojans. Since then, Ben has served Carroll and the Seahawks for the past 11 seasons. Also, he has been a contributing writer for Sports Illustrated, The Associated Press, USA Today, and The Dallas Morning News. Ben currently shares his unfathomable story to churches, youth groups, businesses, schools, and anyone else who desires to be inspired to discover their purpose.
