Mike Ditka keynote speaker at United Fresh General Session

NFL Hall of Famer and the Chicago Bears beloved Coach Mike Ditka will deliver the Wednesday Keynote Address at the United Fresh 2015 General Session, Wednesday, June 10, 2015, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. Ditka will share insights from his decades of experience as an NFL player, coach and analyst on the importance of leadership and the value of teamwork.

His name is synonymous with the Chicago Bears. "Da Coach or Iron Mike," Ditka played for, and coached the Bears for 17 seasons. Over a single decade (‘82-‘92), he coached the Bears compiling a win-loss record of 112 to 68 during that time. He guided the Bears to six NFC Central Divisional titles, in addition to three NFC title games. Most notably, the '85 Bears are considered amongst the NFL's "Best Ever Teams" going 18-1 that year culminating with the Super Bowl XX title. Twice, Ditka was named the NFL's Coach of the Year ('85 and '88). From 1985-1988, he led the Bears to 52 wins – the most ever by an NFL team in a four-year span in NFL history. He left the Bears football organization in 1992.

Ditka has won three Super Bowls, as a play (Dallas- Super Bowl VI), as an assistant coach, (Dallas-Super Bowl XII), and as a head coach (Chicago Super Bowl XX). He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.

Continuing to play a notable role in the NFL, Ditka serves as a commentator and analyst for ESPN.
