Award-winning speaker Sporty King
cracks up a student.
"Every school has a bullying problem whether they are aware
of it or not and whether they are acting on it or not. The
Hey U.G.L.Y. program is a way to really get students to
take ownership of their behavior. I think the Hey U.G.L.Y.
program also really encourages other students to step in if
they see something happening that shouldn't be."
Carrie Miller, Teacher/St. Stansislaus Kostas School
"Rarely have I seen teacher more willing to
give up their class time in favor of a guest speaker. In
fact, they go out of their way to combine classes so that
more students might enjoy the uplifting and positive
messages presented by Sporty. I
urge you to continue your support of Sporty
King. He
is a great gift to the community. He
not only helps students, but he has been a tremendous
motivator for our teachers. Thank
you for helping him stay around." - Will Stigall,
Assistant Principal /CPS
"From the time the Hey U G L Y's acronym was
explained until the closing poem, our audience was
mesmerized by Sporty King's commanding delivery and the
compelling content of his message. The message, crucial for
students and teachers, is that positive thinking and the
dividends of health and harmony are a catalyst for change
in yourself, and then your environment."

teachers in the right frame of mind for motivating the
students to do their very best in their academics for the
school year. I
have received fine comments from the teachers regarding
your presentation." - Dr.Otha O.

"I used a motivational speaker named Sporty
King who came into my school and transformed my entire
student body. I
know we have all had motivational speakers who have done
something in our schools, but this guy is a miracle worker.
Whenever someone finds a person that is really good, I
think it is important that we share that information." - Momma

Principal of Paderewski
Elementary School and founder of Recovering
the Gifted Child/CPS
"Hey U.G.L.Y.'s stop bullying program is an emotional,
experiential learning so the kids can learn to have
compassion and understand the importance of treating each
other in a fair and a good way."
