Public Speaking
Real stories. Honest conversations. Practical insights. Every event is tailored, from global conferences to corporate leadership seminars.
Evidence-Based and People-Centred
I don’t just share stories of success — I show what it takes to build sustainable, inclusive, athlete-centred performance environments. With over 20 years in elite sport, including back-to-back World Cup wins, I focus on the systems, cultures, and leadership practices that create lasting impact, not just short-term wins.
I challenge outdated norms, especially in how we support female athletes, and bring lived experience from World Cups, Olympic Games, and global high-performance environments.
My Areas of Expertise
Performance & Innovation
Using data and technology without losing the human element; applying science to individualise care; innovation in women’s sport.
Women's Sport Leadership
Why women’s sport needs its own model; building sustainable high-performance environments; lessons from the evolution of women’s football.
Culture & Team Dynamics
Creating athlete-centred, inclusive cultures; building world-class team environments; effective collaboration across staff groups.
Wellbeing & Sustainable Success
Supporting athletes as people first; preventing burnout; balancing demands with holistic care.
Leadership & Mentoring
Lessons from leading the best teams; mentoring the next generation; rethinking leadership in high-performance sport.
Every event is unique, so I tailor my talks to the audience — from performance staff and coaches, to students, executives, and organisations seeking to apply lessons from elite sport to leadership and culture.
If you are planning an event and want someone who combines global experience with honest perspectives and practical insights into high-performance environments, I would love to hear from you, to share my experience and learnings.
On Stage at Leading Conferences
In August 2023, I was a panel expert for the launch of the FIFA Female Health Project at the FIFA Women's Football Convention in Sydney, Australia, two days before the 2023 Women's World Cup final. The project was a core component of the governing body’s strategic commitment to optimise female footballers' health, well-being, and performance.
In January 2024 I presented the contextual analysis of the physical match demands from the 2023 FIFA World Cup Finals. This was at a FIFA hosted coaches forum for the coaches who had participated in the 2023 FIFA World Cup finals.
In July 2025 I was part of Populous's 'Global Elite Training Facility Summit'. The summit focused on influencing the future of facility design, I participated on panels focused on recovery considerations and also on design considerations specifically for optimizing high performance for female athletes.
In July 2025 I presented a keynote session, 'Beyond the Game: Evolving Women's football through science and medicine’. I presented on behalf of FIFA Women’s Division at the 8th Asian Football Confederation Medical Conference which was themed on "Medicine and Science – Navigating through Changing Times," (Watch the conference).
In September 2025, I presented on behalf of FIFA Women's Division at a workshop attended by UEFA delegates. I co-delivered a session to UEFA Member Associations entitled 'Women's Health and Performance: Applying the Female Lens'.
