About
Our values
At Inspirational Athletes, we believe in more than just sport, we believe in the power of people, stories, and life-changing moments.
We’re passionate about doing things properly. From the athletes we carefully select, to the personal service we offer every client, we go above and beyond to deliver outstanding experiences that are easy, enjoyable and unforgettable.
Our values shape everything we do, from the athletes we work with to the experiences we create for young people across the country.
Transparency, Reliability and Going the extra mile!
Booking an athlete can feel overwhelming, with so many names, stories and options out there, it’s hard to know where to start. That’s where we come in. At Inspirational Athletes, we keep things simple, personal and completely hassle-free.
We begin by listening to what you need. Whether it’s a motivational talk, a sports workshop or a full day of activities, we take the time to understand your audience, your goals, your values and your budget. Using our expert knowledge and long-standing relationships, we carefully recommend athletes who are engaging, on-message and the right fit for your event. We’ll only suggest athletes we truly believe are perfect for you.
Our advice is always free, friendly and honest. Whether you’re browsing ideas or ready to book, we’re here to help with clear, helpful guidance and no pressure. Once you’ve chosen your athlete, we handle every detail, from timings and travel to making sure everything runs smoothly on the day. You’ll have personal, one-to-one support from start to finish.
We go the extra mile to understand your objectives and make sure your event leaves a lasting impression. Our athletes bring powerful, real-life stories about resilience, teamwork, confidence and overcoming challenges, leaving your audience inspired, motivated and ready to achieve their own goals.
Great inspiration doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. We’re proud to match schools and organisations with brilliant, high-quality athletes to suit every budget, without ever compromising on impact or experience.
