With three consecutive gold medals in rowing at the Olympic Games, Pete's remarkable achievements began less than four years after he started the sport. Throughout his impressive 17-year rowing career, he also 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 such a long period.
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 an innate quality but rather a skill that can be developed by anyone. If you are seeking to inspire your team and equip them with the necessary life skills to conquer even the most daunting challenges, Pete can provide you with invaluable insights and guidance.
