Michael Crane

The thing about Michael that has inspired me, is his willingness to not bury his past but to exhume it for all to see. Michael’s naked honesty is a rare form of bravery that all of us can learn from.

I’ve known Michael for over 30 years. He comes from a great family. The amount of success he has experienced is really amazing, but not surprising. However, the other side of his story is out of character for him. God has a reason for everything. His main purpose is to have a relationship with us. I am thankful Michael has chosen to persevere. There are so many that would have given up, and he has not. God is a God of redemption. He never leaves us, or forsakes us. Michael’s story is authentic and one where God’s redemption, love, power, and grace are evident.

I’ve been working in TV trucks with Michael for 20 years. When he was green behind the ears, I was next to him laughing and having fun. He emerged as the best EVS op in our circle because of his tenacious attitude to learn the brand new digital replay system. His speed was a marvel. His accuracy was sometimes lacking. And so was his life. He was going 100 mph all the time but his destinations were not always where he wanted to end up. His story didn’t end at Augusta, or anywhere he’s been since that fateful day. His story isn’t finished. New chapters are about to be written, not in Michael’s, but in God’s timing, speed and accuracy. I’ll continue to stand with and support Michael as God uses him in new ways. The adventure never ends.

I can't speak for anyone else but I am speaking on my experience as a parent and what he did to help not only my child but so many others I saw him help. He changed many young men lives who were going down the wrong track and gave up hope of playing the game because they were never given a chance to showcase their talents but Coach Crane gave them a chance and even took the financial burden on himself

I've heard it said that there is no testimony without tests. That is true for Michael Crane. And that is why he is so effective as an inspirational speaker. He has experienced the highs and the lows. Everyone has heard of the EMMY. It is the highest award given to television programs and people. Four of the gold statues grace Michael's mantle. No greater honor, some say. And, there was a time when Michael would have agreed. But, the statues led Michael to the evils of the world and took him to the lows of addiction. That would have been the end for a smaller person. But, not Michael. His spirit and his beliefs and some dedicated friends and professionals changed his direction. His story of success in baseball and television production is evidence that change is not only possible but available to anyone who is dedicated. Michael is a talented television producer and even more as a coach. Michael's story is the "stuff movies are made of." Much as the Pheonix bird was made new by the fire, Michael's honesty and his story will challenge everyone who hears it. I happily recommend Michael as an inspirational speaker.
