The playing field has changed from the baseball diamond to the corporate
board room, but the intensity and integrity with which future Hall of Famer
Steve Garvey plays his position at Garvey Management Group remains the
same. The transition from professional athlete to corporate executive was
made smoother because of a insightful Garvey character trait - the ability
to look to, and plan for the future. Garvey recognized early in his baseball
career the unique opportunities that would require a keen business sense
as professional sports require athlete ability. Since serving as spokesman
for Vitalis as a major league rookie in 1970, Garvey has taken advantage
of, and learned from dozens of business opportunities.
Garvey has been featured in endorsement and promotional campaigns for companies
which include Pepsi-Cola, Chevrolet, McDonald's, TransAmerica, Anheuser-Busch,
Adidas, Jockey, Nestle, The Rice Council, Cardservice International &
Golf One. Garvey has always enjoyed a talent for marketing; advertising,
communication, and corporate relations. This coupled with his experience
representing numerous products through the years, his interest in increasing
his business savvy ability, and provide corporations and businesses with
knowledgeable consulting, inspired his founding of Garvey Management Group.
One of Steve's unique skills is motivational speaking. For over twenty-five
years he has spoken to groups, corporations, conventions, and universities
around the world. In conjunction with FOX Sports Network, Garvey has served
as co-executive producer for “The International Sportsman” featuring top
named entertainment and sports personalities. Garvey hosts the weekly series,
“Baseball's Greatest Games” aired on Classic Sports Network. Garvey's efforts
have not been exclusively focused on Garvey Management Group. Garvey also
finds the time to hold positions on numerous civic committees and corporate
boards. These efforts have earned Garvey the admiration and praise of those
around him. He has been recognized for his unparalleled discipline, commitment
and dedication.
These distinctions began early in his career and have continued until the
present and include Major League Baseball's highest honor for humanitarian
service, the Roberto Clemente Award. He has received every coveted award
in Major League Baseball for accomplishments on and off the field. Steve
has also received the Lou Gehrig's Award for his contribution to Baseball
and Society. Sports Illustrated named him the “Iron Man” for his consecutive
game streak in the National League. Steve is a living legend in Dodger
history and holds team, individual, and MLB records. While with the Padres,
he is the only player in the history of the game to have an errorless season
at first base. To gain national prominence through excellence in professional
sports is an achievement few attain. To then excel in the board rooms of
corporate America through intelligent business practices is even more difficult,
Garvey has reached and surpassed these pinnacles of success. His ability
to educate and entertain is documented in print and on film. Steve Garvey
is widely respected for his contributions of time and talent to worthy
causes and efforts of importance.
