Tennis star and Team GB Olympic silver medallist Laura Robson has forged an impressive career as an Olympic Speaker and after-dinner speaker. Turning professional in 2008 Laura is a well-renowned tennis player who made appearances in multiple major competitions. This makes her an exceptional addition to events as a sports speaker detailing her career and expressing the sacrifices required to reach peak performance in an elite sport. Signing with sports giant Adidas at only 11 years old cemented her superiority and potential within the sport.
After her success as a junior at Wimbledon, Robson turned professional and soon found herself travelling the world, playing tennis at a high standard. As a rising star, she had a continual presence on the WTA tennis circuit and confirmed her position as Great Britain’s number 1 when she joined forces with Andy Murray to win Silver at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the mixed doubles. Another milestone in Laura Robson’s career came when she beat the legendary Kim Clijsters at the US Open, joining an elusive and exclusive list of names to have defeated the Belgian at that competition.
Becoming the first British female player to make the third round of a Grand Slam in 14 years was a major achievement in her career which helped her increase Laura Robson’s profile and suitability as a sports speaker. Her success within the tennis ranks was confirmed in 2013 as she broke into the top 50 players in the world at the age of 20, a feat which only increased her recognition as a fierce competitor. Laura continued playing at a high level until her retirement in 2022 after a continuous battle with injuries that kept her off the court. She is now a keynote speaker talking on topics such as overcoming adversity and her sporting success on the biggest stage.
Laura Robson is a relatable and kind speaker who has been at the very top of the tennis game. She is available for a range of corporate events and occasions through the Champions Speakers Agency. Get in touch today!
