Marc Woods
Marc had his left leg amputated because of cancer when he was
seventeen. The day after he had his stitches out he went
swimming and within a year he was swimming quicker with
one leg then he did when he had two. His dream was to simply
be the best that he could be and just 18 months after he
finished his chemotherapy he was selected to represent Great
Britain. He has now competed internationally for 17 years,
winning 12 Paralympic medals and a further 21 from either
World or European Championships. He is a member of the team
that held the World Record for the 4 x 100m Freestyle and
has also held world records for 200m, 400m and 1500m Freestyle.
Marc has presented his speech - Path To Gold - to companies
all over the world. He works closely with his clients to
ensure the emphasis of his speech compliments the issues
that are currently being faced in the work place. Issues
that Marc can cover within his speech include Inspiration,
Re-evaluating your goals, Coaching and the role of feedback,
Facing adversity in a team environment and Positive attitude.
