Iconic Tokyo 2020 Olympians ready to changes lives at your next event

With Australia having smashed records across the board at Tokyo 2020, it’s fair to say we all have a few questions we’d like to ask the athletes. To be able to win the most gold medals in Australian history is one thing, but to do so in the face of over a year of training restrictions and a delayed Olympics is another achievement entirely.

There is a lot we can learn from how our Olympians mentally prepare themselves for the biggest event in their career, but who to choose? Check out these iconic athletic superstars that have just come on board to inspire your team through trials and tribulations:
