Pete Reed boasts three consecutive gold medals in rowing at the Olympic Games, a remarkable achievement that began less than four years after he started the sport.
Throughout his impressive 17-year rowing career, he earned two Oxford Blues and is among the elite group of only 14 Team GB Olympians who have maintained their dominance in their sport for a long time.
As a serving Royal Navy officer since 1999, Pete retired from rowing in 2018 to continue his public service at sea.
However, in 2019, he faced a life-altering event when he suffered a spinal stroke that left him paralyzed below his chest. Undeterred by this setback, Pete utilized his military training and Olympic experience to navigate his changed circumstances and help others do the same.
Pete openly shares his unique perspective on overcoming adversity and trauma, emphasizing that resilience is not innate but a skill anyone can develop.
Pete can provide invaluable insights and guidance if you seek to inspire your team and equip them with the necessary life skills to conquer even the most daunting challenges.
