Lizzy Yarnold is a British skeleton racer, best known for winning two gold medals at the Winter Olympic Games.
From rising up the ranks within 5 years to jump onto the top of the Olympic podium (where success leads to success), to then grip onto a Team GB selection for her second Winter Olympics when race wins were a hard-fought battle, Lizzy has lived many ‘best versions of herself’. During her sensational wins at the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics, Lizzy captured the hearts and imagination of the British public. People warmed to the humble young woman from Kent who never gave up on her dreams and, with a frightening determination, reached the pinnacle of world sport.
Comfortable delivering a motivational speech, taking part in a Q&A session or working and interacting with groups or individuals, Lizzy is adept at tailoring her message to suit different audiences.
Using her experiences from the world of elite sport and having studied ‘Mental Toughness’ at University, Lizzy can deliver sessions that will resonate with your business.

More About Lizzy Yarnold
As a Speaker, Lizzy connects through conversations about life in elite sport, the Olympic experience, and how someone even gets into a sport like Skeleton! With a focus on real stories about injury setbacks, almost missing out on Olympic selection as the reigning Olympic Champion, and her passion for accountability and vulnerability, along with the benefits of teamwork, all became the cornerstones of her success.
