Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards Speaker Biography

About Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards

First British ski jumper to compete in the Winter Olympics
Subject of biographical film starring Taron Egerton
Motivational speaker known for perseverance and underdog spirit
Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards is a British ski jumper who made history as the first to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping at the 1988 Calgary Games. Despite finishing last, his extraordinary perseverance and underdog spirit captured global attention and admiration.

As the subject of the successful biographical film Eddie the Eagle, starring Taron Egerton, Eddie has transformed his Olympic experience into a compelling career as a motivational speaker. He holds the distinction of being a former British ski jumping record holder and has appeared as a commentator on ITV's "The Jump" while serving as Patron of the charity Ski 4 Cancer.

Eddie's presentations draw from his remarkable journey of overcoming financial hardship, physical limitations, and institutional barriers to achieve his Olympic dream. He articulates how determination can triumph over seemingly impossible odds, providing organisations with practical insights on resilience during challenging business environments and the importance of maintaining vision despite setbacks.

Audiences leave Eddie's talks with concrete strategies for persevering through professional obstacles, a framework for setting and achieving ambitious goals despite limited resources, and renewed perspective on how perceived failures can become platforms for future success.

Book Eddie Edwards to inspire your team with an authentic story of grit that continues to resonate decades after his Olympic moment.
