Joan Benoit
Benoit became the first female Olympic marathon champion in 1984. (the year the event was introduced). Her victory was all the more impressive because she underwent knee surgery just before the Olympic trials. Benoit and her husband Scott are presently residing in Freeport, Maine. She has experience working as a keynote speaker, sports pundit, and coach for female runners of all lengths.

Michael Jordan
You’ve probably heard of this man, who is often regarded as the greatest basketball player in history. He was a member of Olympic gold-medal winning squads in 1984 and 1992. Is there anything Jordan hasn’t tried yet? Jordan departed the NBA in 1993 to try his hand at baseball. Two years later, he came back to the court to play for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan finally made an official exit from the Washington Wizards in 2003. Since then, he has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama, and in 2017, Forbes magazine named him the highest-paid athlete in history.
