Emily Ford
About Me
Olympic Bronze Medallist, Double Olympian, inspirational, motivational, keynote speaker, and mentor.
From a young rower struggling to find my rhythm, to an Olympic Bronze Medallist, my journey has been one of resilience, determination, and discipline. Inspired by my twin brothers, I took up rowing at 11 and went on to compete at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Along the way, I made history becoming one of the first British women to qualify two boats for an Olympic Games at the same regatta, and sharing a Olympic podium with my brother, a feat last achieved in 1908.
What I
Offer
Competing at the highest level has taught me the power of resilience, having the right mindset and how to build confidence. Now, I share these lessons, helping others embrace challenges, turn setbacks into opportunities and pursue their dreams and goals.
Through speaking engagements, workshops, and mentorship, I provide the tools and strategies to fuel growth, unlock potential, and achieve success in any area.
AS FEATURED ON
