Ama made her England debut at 19 and went on to earn over 100 caps, captaining the national team through some of its most successful years. She has competed professionally across England, Australia and New Zealand, winning two ANZ Championships and earning the Jill McIntosh Medal for excellence. Her playing career was marked by both versatility and resilience, often balancing sport with study and legal work due to limited funding in women’s sport.
Alongside a thriving netball career, Ama qualified as a lawyer with degrees from the University of Leicester and Loughborough University, and has since worked as a mediator and advisor in sport governance. Her off-court contributions have included roles as a board member for Birmingham 2022 and Commonwealth Games England, as well as chairing athlete advisory groups and serving as a trustee for several charities.
Her leadership, both on and off the court, is informed by lived experience and professional insight, making her a compelling voice on teamwork, motivation, diversity and transition. Whether reflecting on her journey through elite sport or offering strategies for high performance, Ama brings clarity, credibility and impact to every stage she steps on.
Book Ama for an authentic perspective on transformational leadership that turned an underdog team into world champions while breaking barriers for women's sport in the UK.
Topics, Sessions And Talks
When Ama Agbeze’s drive and determination to reach the top of her game was rewarded by being named as England captain in 2016, having observed the approaches of many captains before her she made the conscious decision to be an empathetic leader with a focus on psychological support for her team and by doing so, cultivate a team culture of success. Now Ama shares how she was able to achieve this so other teams can do the same.
In this keynote, we'll reflect on the question of diversity from several perspectives – race, gender in sport, and the importance of understanding that people have many different layers. The message is simple: judge people based on what they say and do, not on preconceived ideas of what to expect.
