After Dinner Speakers: Derek Redmond, Sarah Coburn, Jeremy Lee

As one of Britain's greatest ever 400m athletes and a member of the PSA (Professional Speakers Association), Derek is able to bring a unique perspective to what it takes to set goals, overcome obstacles and succeed. A career that brought gold medals at World, European and Commonwealth levels and also saw more than its fair share of bad luck and heartache, most famously during the Barcelona Olympics when his hamstring snapped during the semi finals. Derek, a medal favorite, struggled to his feet and hobbled the remaining 250 metres in a scene that has become one of the most enduring in modern Olympic history. Derek has drawn on his vast experience as an international sportsman to provide a fascinating and inspirational platform for his motivational speeches. Not only does he offer unique insights into famous sporting moments, but also an uplifting approach to what it took to defy odds and succeed both as an individual and as a team.
