Jason Gardener MBE

Olympic, Commonwealth, World and European Indoor Champion. Inspiring and articulate speaker and respected TV presenter

Jason Gardener is one of the UK’s all time great sprinters. He achieved one of his ultimate ambitions when he led the Great Britain team to Olympic Gold in 2004 and broke the magical 10 second barrier for 100m.

For fourteen years Jason Gardener represented Great Britain at the highest level in the world of athletics and he was British Team Captain on numerous occasions. During an illustrious career he became Olympic, World, Commonwealth and European Champion, 60m, 100m and 4x100m Relay Team Sprinter.

He was awarded an MBE in 2005 for his services to athletics.

Since his retirement, Jason has gained an enviable reputation as an inspiring motivational speaker. He is one of a rare breed of athletes who can speak authoritatively and articulately about what it really takes to get to the top. Jason is a person who understands how to plan for success and achieve dream goals even in the face of adversity. He has a BSc Honours in media and Sociology and has several consultancy roles for major organisations. He is also an accomplished television presenter.

 

“I want to say a big thank you for your presentation.  The feedback from the team was one of shocked admiration and humble respect for an achievement we can only dream of.  Your talk became the centre of conversations that evening and the following day numerous mentions were made of how we could and should link the key messages into BUPA International. Personally I felt inspired and proud. Your talk now creates some folklore that I can refer to at a point in time where the team moved forward under my Leadership”.
