As a result of his athletic accomplishments, he was inducted into the Loyola-Marymount University Athletic Hall of Fame. As a professional speaker, Roger was awarded the distinguished CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame designation. This is a lifetime honor for speaking excellence presented by the National Speakers Association.

Roger’s life affirming story was featured in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul series. He has been a featured guest on Larry King Live, Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and has been profiled in well known publications such as USA Today, Tennis magazine, and Men’s Fitness magazine. He was also featured in the Emmy Award winning television movie, In a New Light. As a successful author, Roger’s inspiring road to victory is detailed in his autobiography, Playing From The Heart.
