Amber’s journey began at the age of ten, when her grandfather introduced her to shooting. By twelve, she was already competing for England’s senior women’s team, showing a maturity and focus well beyond her years. Her breakthrough came in 2013 at just 15 years old, when she made history as the youngest ever winner of an ISSF World Cup gold medal, also setting a junior world record. That same year, she was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year, cementing her as one of Britain’s most exciting young talents. Her rapid rise through the ranks was built on determination, discipline, and an unwavering belief in her craft—qualities that form the backbone of her speaking engagements.

In recent years, Amber has continued to prove her excellence both on and off the field. Despite heartbreak in 2021, when a positive COVID-19 test forced her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics, she turned adversity into opportunity, openly discussing her mental health and advocating for athlete wellbeing. In 2024, just three months after giving birth to her son, she returned to competition and claimed a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first British woman to medal in Olympic skeet shooting. Her comeback, marked by emotional strength and mental clarity, resonated worldwide and showcased her unmatched resilience.

Amber is hired not just for her sporting accolades, but for her ability to connect, uplift, and energise. Her story speaks to the power of mindset, balance, and purpose—making her a compelling voice for organisations looking to motivate teams, encourage wellbeing, and cultivate a high-performance culture.
