Steven Bradbury is one of the world’s most colourful Olympic champions.

 

Steven has an impressive career as an Olympic athlete that has been driven by determination, sacrifice and most importantly a will to succeed. Steven’s achievements as an Ice Skater and Olympic athlete includes:

 

·       Four time Olympian athlete (1992, 1994, 1998 & 2002)

·       Australia’s first Winter Olympic medallist (1994 Bronze Medal 5000 metre relay)

·       Australia’s first Olympic Gold medallist (2002 Winter Olympics)

·       Three world championship medals

 

Throughout Steven’s career he almost lost his life in two separate skating accidents. Steven’s ‘never give in’ attitude was finally rewarded in 2002 at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games. The Bradbury story is one of the true Aussie battler who overcomes much adversity to achieve the ultimate goal.

 

The story leading up to this achievement is what makes his presentation memorable and unique and with the same passion as Steven has shown on the ice, he has continued his success as a motivational speaker to both individual and corporate clients.

 

His warm friendly nature, down to earth manner and use of humour is sure to help ‘break the ice’.

As well as being entertained and inspired your audience will be left with a lasting impression that much of the prize is in the journey and that success takes PASSION, PERSISTENCE and TEAMWORK.

 

Some people have described Steven’s victory as lucky. Winning Olympic gold took a lot more than just luck. The same as in BUSINESS, STRATEGY and PLANNING were KEY INGREDIENTS in that success. Four Olympic campaigns and 12 years of hard training including an Olympic Bronze in 1994, 111 stitches in his leg and in the year 2000 a broken NECK are testimony to that hard work and persistence. 18 months after breaking it that same NECK was supporting an Olympic Gold Medal.

 

Steven’s story touches a chord with people from all walks of life and is a prime example to all that if you "STICK IT OUT" YOU TOO CAN BE THE LAST MAN STANDING
