Football Voices
Explore the lessons from the football field on teamwork, strategy, and success.
Football speakers translate elite performance from the world's most popular sport into practical business insights on leadership, teamwork, resilience, and high-performance culture. Organisations book these experts to learn how top professionals unite diverse teams, make split-second decisions under pressure, and sustain excellence at the highest level — skills directly applicable to the workplace.

PepTalk's roster includes Premier League greats such as Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand and Ian Wright, leading managers like Gareth Southgate and Arsène Wenger, trailblazing women's football figures including Sarina Wiegman and Jill Scott, respected executives such as Karren Brady, and top pundits like Gary Lineker. Speakers can be booked for keynotes, Q&A panels, leadership workshops, team-building sessions, virtual webinars, executive coaching, and after-dinner engagements — each tailored to your specific event goals. Booking 3–6 months in advance is recommended to secure top talent.
