amazing stories in sports in sports
history. His remarkable journey and
success as a physical therapist and

Through his business savvy, dynamic
personality, and emphasis on
customer service, Croce created
Sports Physical Therapists, a sports
medicine empire of 40 centers in 11
states, into a top-ten finalist for
the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award.
Following the sale of
his company, Croce focused his
entrepreneurial spirit and
indestructible positive attitude to
purchase the NBA’s last place team,
the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. Five
years and millions of frenzied fans
later, the team broke NBA
attendance, revenue, merchandise,
and consecutive win records for the
franchise, and rose from worst to
first.
Recently, television
has been an exciting part of Croce’s
hectic schedule. He was a lively
commentator on the NBA for NBC, and
is a partner and in-studio host of
the sporting world’s first extreme
team sport and television show,
Slamball. He is also scheduled
to be a commentator for the Summer
Olympic Games ’04 in Greece,
covering the judo and tae kwon do
events on NBC.
In addition to being
the recipient of the “Entrepreneur
of the Year” Award and the Sales
& Marketing Management
magazine’s “Best Motivator” Award
(2001), Croce received A&E
Biography’s “Community Hero”
Award (2002) and was recently
featured on the cover of Inc.
magazine as “The Dale Carnegie of
the 21st Century.”
Croce, a
nationally-renowned motivational
speaker, is the author of the New
York Times bestseller, I Feel
Great and You Will Too!, as well
as 110%. His third book,
Lead or Get Off the Pot!, will
be released in April of 2004 by
Simon & Schuster.
