Who are sports speakers?

Sports speakers specialise in inspiring and engaging audiences about the power of motivation and team spirit. They discuss personal experiences to illustrate how difficult but achievable sports successes can be. 

From successful head coaches, world cup participants, athletes, or even businesspeople who achieved success through sport, they guide others to reach their potential. Some of these speakers are writers who are on New York Times bestsellers lists. They make them realise that anything is possible when there is perseverance.

They act almost like leadership speakers because in the world of sports, to reach peak performance you need a great team leader. 

Why is sports motivation important?

Sports motivation is essential for athletes of all levels in order to achieve their goals. Sports motivation can act as an internal driving force, giving an athlete the necessary push to complete strenuous workouts, follow a strict diet, and stay focused even when they don't feel like it. 

Motivation can come from a variety of sources, both external and internal. External sources may include coaches, instructors, family members or friends who provide positive reinforcement and encouragement. Internal motivation comes from within the athlete themselves.
