Uta’s Public Speaking

Uta is an energetic motivational speaker whose specialties include wellness and fitness. She is available for corporate outings, seminars, meetings, and events. Her presentations draw upon the challenges she faced as she transitioned from being a medical student to one of the most accomplished marathoners of her generation to the founder and president of an international charitable foundation.

Uta offers audiences a unique perspective on how inspiration, fitness, training, nutrition, and stress management can help them achieve better health, greater productivity, and other personal goals.

Her primary presentation, “Running To Freedom™,” is a history-inspired discussion that explores the desire for change and how to find inspiration to reach your goals—one small step at a time.

In another presentation, “Cool Focus—The Mental Side of Training and Racing,” Uta discusses mental tools such as visualization, re-evaluation, goal fine-tuning, and other techniques that help achieve optimal mental preparation and focus during training and competitions.

In addition, she loves to share information on “How to Live Where Intensity Meets Playfulness™” or “The Secret of Longevity,” as well as many other topics.

Uta’s Individual Program

Uta takes her experience, knowledge, and her unique approach to physical and mental fitness, and focuses these on individual clients who would like to achieve a better sense of wellbeing, greater health, and a maximum level of fitness. She does this in a manner which gently helps you tap into your unlimited potential to reach a desired ultimate goal, believing that big change can happen one small step at a time. You will learn the possibilities that exist within you, once a decision is made to achieve a goal.

This is accomplished under the umbrella of “Intensity Meets Playfulness™”—making your journey not only productive, but enjoyable. Through this program you receive a rare and profound understanding of the mind of a world champion and how to harness this world-class philosophy to better yourself.

Clients have included:

Accomplished runners and other athletes who wish to achieve personal records, but feel their current training, nutrition regimen, and mental outlook are not quite getting their bodies to reach their maximum potential.

Beginning runners who would like to accomplish a once-in-a-lifetime achievement such as running a marathon.

Men and women who have decided that they would like to live healthier, more vibrant and enjoyable day-to-day lives, with a focus on wellbeing, and who are looking for one-on-one counseling to begin, and ultimately to achieve, their new lifestyles.
