MBN Speaker Series:
Thursday, May 1st MBN was joined by Bill Burke.
Bill Burke – Speaker, Coach, Author, Podcast Host, and Former MSU Quarterback Bill Burke had a notable college football career as a quarterback for Michigan State University from 1995 to 1999.
Here is the video from his presentation click the embedded YouTube video below:
Bill worked his way into a starting role under head coach Nick Saban. His most memorable season came in 1999 when he led the Spartans to a 10-2 record, including a victory in the Citrus Bowl against Florida and a #7 national ranking. He was known for his toughness and leadership, highlighted by a school-record 400-yard game against Michigan that helped solidify his legacy at MSU.
Bill’s tenure as a Spartan quarterback saw him earn respect for his resilience and ability to deliver in critical moments. Over his career, he threw 46 touchdowns and played a significant role in transforming the team into a Big Ten contender. His connection with future NFL stars like Plaxico Burress contributed to key victories, including upsets over top-ranked teams like #1 Ohio State and rival Michigan, led by Tom Brady.
Now, Bill is on a mission to pass along the lessons he’s learned through his rare experiences in big stadiums and in boardrooms to push the limits of what his clients think is possible in their lives. His new book ‘Victory Outside the Arena’ also shares those lessons.
