Gold medals and first-place finishes are one half of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. At some point in their careers, all athletes must face adversity, to improve as sportspeople and beat the competition. Such experiences make these speakers leading experts on overcoming adversity, a common topic at corporate events.
Aside from the physical hurdles at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, athletes must overcome personal adversity to achieve their goals. From self-doubt to demotivation, injury or failing to qualify for their sport, all Olympians and Paralympians have powered through disappointment to succeed.
When booked for corporate events, our speakers on overcoming adversity use their sporting experience to educate audiences. They instil the resilience needed to tackle disappointment when failure strikes, and overcome hurdles that threaten their professional goals. To rise through the ranks, to the elite level of their sports, Olympians and Paralympians view adversity as an opportunity for growth.
