Eshé Bernard is a World Champion cheerleader, former international gymnast, and athlete manager who shares a compelling message about resilience and self-discovery. Her journey through the highs and lows of elite sport has equipped her with valuable insights that resonate with many, particularly those who may not fully recognise the opportunities available to them.
Representing both England and Jamaica, Eshé experienced the highs of international competition but also faced significant challenges, including injury and chronic fatigue, which ultimately led to her early retirement. This unexpected turn of events prompted a period of deep reflection and personal growth. Diagnosed with ADHD at 22, Eshé came to understand how it was her neurodivergence that fueled her ambition but ultimately contributed to her burnout. Her two-year journey of recovery involved learning to advocate for herself and redefining her understanding of success, experiences that now inform her work.
With a background in acting and modelling, Eshé possesses a unique perspective on the potential of athletes beyond their competitive achievements. As an athlete manager and speaker, she is dedicated to helping others recognise and harness their capabilities, guiding them to take control of their well-being and futures.
Eshé's speaking engagements focus on resilience, mental health, self-advocacy, and personal growth. Her mission is to empower individuals, athletes and non-athletes alike, to transcend limitations, embrace their uniqueness, and cultivate lives filled with purpose and joy. Through her story and insights, Eshé inspires others to unlock their full potential and navigate their own paths to success.
