Add to my shortlistIn Detail
Roger won 15 major Championship medals, including European, Commonwealth and World Championship Gold medals, but his greatest achievement was winning the Olympic 400 metres Silver medal in 1996. Roger was awarded the MBE in 1992 for his services to British sport. Apart from his career in athletics he is also an extremely popular figure amongst the media where his talents as a presenter were first established in 1991, when he was asked to work for BBC Sport.

WHAT he OFFERS YOU
Roger provides an insight into the lessons learnt throughout his athletics career, which resulted in him achieving my dream of standing on the Olympic rostrum in Atlanta in 1996. By combining his close understanding of motivation and self-development with his personal experiences both on and off the track he consistently inspires, motivates and entertains audiences.
