Harnessing Talent Athlete

Anna Hemmings - Further Information

Giving back:
Over the last few years Anna realised that there are a number of parallels that can be drawn between elite level sport and business. She has consequently developed a new career of motivational speaking alongside her sporting one – and is now sharing her experiences and knowledge with a wide range of audiences ranging from CEO’s and business delegates from global companies to school children and has had enormous success in inspiring, motivating and maximising the potential of all nature of individuals.

DKH Legacy Trust:
Anna has been working as an Athlete Mentor on our East London and Manchester Backing Talent Events. She was also recently elected onto our Performer Steering Group she said, "I think DKHLT is a fantastic organisation with powerful values which I believe in. Having recently retired from professional sport I realise now the challenges that an athlete faces in making the transition into work; I think it is of paramount importance that athletes receive the kind of help and support that DKHLT offer. I'd like to help other athletes in the future receive the best support possible with regard to this. I am very keen to help share any insight and ideas that I have on these issues."
