Bryony Page is a history-making Olympic Champion and Britain’s most decorated female gymnast, whose remarkable journey from childhood dreams to global sporting glory makes her an outstanding and deeply inspiring motivational speaker. As the first British trampolinist to win an Olympic medal - silver in Rio 2016 - Bryony has consistently broken barriers and defied expectations. Her story is one of perseverance, self-belief, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, earning her widespread admiration and accolades including an MBE in the 2025 New Year Honours and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Sheffield.
Bryony’s path to success was far from straightforward. Early in her career, she suffered from lost move syndrome, a psychological condition that eroded her confidence and hindered her ability to perform. For two years, she struggled behind the scenes - yet with the help of a confidence coach, she overcame the mental block and returned stronger than ever. Her powerful comeback culminated in a series of global successes: a silver medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics, bronze in Tokyo 2020, and her crowning moment - gold in Paris 2024, where she became the first British gymnast to win Olympic gold in trampolining and the first female British gymnast to win an individual Olympic gold medal.
Away from the competition floor, Bryony’s academic and personal background enriches her speaking style. A first-class Biology graduate from the University of Sheffield, she once wrote a dissertation on the sounds dinosaurs might have made - showcasing her curiosity, dedication, and intellectual flair. Bryony brings the same focus and energy to her talks, sharing how setbacks shaped her growth, how mental resilience fuels performance, and how even failure can be the foundation for future success. Her messages on goal-setting, confidence, and high-pressure performance resonate with audiences of all ages and industries.
Whether speaking to schools, corporations, or fellow athletes, Bryony connects with honesty, humility, and humour. She continues to inspire a new generation by showing what’s possible with vision, support, and resilience. Now training with Cirque du Soleil and exploring new creative challenges, Bryony’s journey is far from over - but her legacy as an Olympic icon, world champion, and role model is already secure. Audiences leave her talks feeling empowered, uplifted, and ready to bounce back from their own challenges - just like Bryony always has.
