Elise Christie
Transform resilience and mental wellbeing with Elise Christie, speaker and Olympic short track speed skater. Elise works with organisations to overcome setbacks, build mental resilience, and achieve peak performance, delivering powerful insights from her Olympic experience and mental health advocacy.
Elise Christie was 15 when she began to pursue her sporting dream, which led her to represent Team GB at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. It was during this event that she achieved top ranking in the 1000m world rankings, making her the most successful British female short track speed skater to date. With two European gold medals under her belt, Elise understands the dedication and determination required to reach the pinnacle of her sport.
However, Elise has also experienced the pain of setbacks. At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, she faced three disqualifications, which had a profound impact on her mental health. In response to the adversity she has faced, Elise has bravely spoken out about her mental health issues, aiming to break the stigma surrounding this topic.
Through her social media platforms, she shares her own experiences to inspire others and encourage them to overcome their own challenges. If you are searching for inspiration to overcome your own obstacles and take your game to the next level, Elise is the perfect person to turn to. She has proven that setbacks do not define you and that with resilience and determination, you can rise above any adversity.
