"The PBFN Business Development Conference was one of the best-run events I've ever been to. We are big advocates of it. It's something that can be an asset to all those players looking for a vehicle to do the things they need to do to have a positive transition."
- Stacy Robinson, NFLPA’s Director of Player Development
"There is a distinct difference between selling and networking and the PBFN conference helped me to understand this."
- Troy Vincent, NFL Player and Entrepreneur
"The PBFN conference helps let current players know there is information and resources available from a peer that will help them acquire and develop skills they currently have and acquire new skills, too, that they can apply to their lives outside of the game."
- Dr. Yolanda Brooks, Dallas Cowboys Player Development
"Since retiring from the NFL in 1990, I have had the opportunity to work for four fortune 100 corporations and have attended countless
conferences throughout my business career. I can wholeheartedly say that the 2002 PBFN conference was a first-class event filled with exceptional presentations and informative breakout sessions. The conference exceeded my expectations! and has positively impacted my business career!"
- Curt DiGiacomo, Former NFL player
The 2002 PBFN conference in Dallas was a great opportunity to see and hear how we should build our financial house. The breakout sessions were extremely valuable. The platform was like none I've ever experienced: Ryan McNeil, Franco Harris, Roger Staubach and Terri Williams. What a great experience. Hope to see you at the conference in 2003."
- Jim Corbett, Former NFL player and President and CEO of JB Corbett Agency
"You can't leave the football field and go into business expecting instant business success. It takes time and commitment to make it work. Having been in the business world for 16 years, I am committed to sharing with other members the obstacles I had to overcome to get to where I am today - enjoying professional success and doing something I truly enjoy."
- Steve August, Former NFL player

- Todd Perry, NFL Player
"The PBFN Business Conference is a tremendous asset to offer players. This has been an excellent opportunity to get together with some former teammates and peers in a business setting and network."
- Chris Gedney, Mortgage Banker and former NFL player
"The PBFN conference helped me realize that if you want to start a business, it is going to take the same amount of effort as it takes to play in the NFL - a lot of hard work. It's good to know people you can get information from and [that can] help you get into the business world."
- Orantes Grant, NFL Player
"I am currently going through that transition - one that all players eventually have to make - from playing in the NFL to getting back to the real world. The PBFN conference has really helped me to figure out what I really want to do - it helped me to narrow my focus and figure out what I want to go into full force for the rest of my life."
