Marc Nudelberg
President of On the Ball
What if the leadership lessons you’ve been ignoring are hiding in the sidelines of a football field?
Marc Nudelberg has spent his life straddling two worlds: high stakes athletics and high tension business. After over a decade coaching Division I football—building discipline, grit, and performance—he joined the family business and rebooted On the Ball, a company with 25+ years helping organizations sharpen their sales, leadership, and culture. Marc doesn’t do generic training; he brings his coaching mentality and a relentless focus on daily habits, process, and mindset to leadership development.
He’s known for a philosophy of getting “1% better every day,” believing that small, repeatable wins compound into extraordinary cultures and results. He’s been recognized as a TEDx speaker, author, and leader who blends sports intensity with business practicality. Under his leadership, On the Ball has become more than a coaching agency—it’s a crucible for high performance, a culture where discipline meets empathy, and where leaders are forged in consistency and connection.
This is a conversation about how loss and failure build strength, how everyday discipline shapes legacy, and what it really takes to lead when people are watching — and relying on you.
