frequently asked questions
Something we've not covered here?
An Olympian is an athlete who has competed at the Olympic Games and shares that experience of elite preparation and performance as a talk. They speak on discipline, sacrifice, and delivering when everything is on the line. PepTalk represents Olympians across many sports, from track and pool to team events.
Fees for an Olympian typically range from £5,000 to £50,000+ in the UK, or $10,000 to $100,000+ in the US. Medals, profile, travel, and session length move the figure most, especially for household names. PepTalk shares a clear quote for your date once we understand the brief.
Olympian speakers talk about goal-setting, discipline, resilience, teamwork, performing under pressure, and recovering from defeat on the biggest stage. Many link the four-year training cycle to long-term business planning, so the lessons feel practical. PepTalk matches the athlete's story to your audience, theme, and the outcome you want.
Yes, you can book an Olympian for a virtual or hybrid event. Their stories on discipline and performance carry well on camera, and a live Q&A keeps the room engaged wherever people are watching from. PepTalk arranges the tech check beforehand so the session runs without a hitch.
An Olympian competes at the Olympic Games; a Paralympian competes at the Paralympic Games and often speaks on overcoming adversity and disability alongside elite sport. Both are world-class athletes, but their stories carry distinct perspectives. PepTalk can book either for your event, or both for a wider programme.
