Jamie Edwards, a former professional basketball player turned motivational speaker, is a leading expert in sports coaching, peak performance, and brain training. He is widely sought after for his ability to inspire and reshape leadership, coaching, and teamwork strategies for elite athletes and high-profile companies. Drawing from his own experience as an athlete, Jamie understands the dedication, ambition, and discipline needed to excel in any field. His motivational speeches deliver not only inspiration but also actionable insights based on his specially developed training techniques, which combine diverse intellectual disciplines to help individuals and teams achieve their peak potential.

With an early career defined by overcoming significant challenges, standing at only 5’6″, he faced physical disadvantages in a sport dominated by much taller players. However, his determination led him to create a personal training regime that allowed him to compete successfully on the international stage. His ability to excel despite these limitations caught the attention of the NBA, where he further refined his techniques. Over the years, Jamie has worked with some of the world’s top athletes, including Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff, Darren Clarke, and Lee Westwood, as well as professionals in rugby, snooker, and football. His work with these athletes laid the foundation for his reputation as a specialist in developing peak performance strategies.

In recent years, Jamie has extended his reach beyond sports, becoming a key figure in the business world as well. His innovative training techniques have been embraced by major organisations looking to improve leadership and teamwork. The UK PGA enlisted Jamie to create a Trainee’s Diploma course, and his influence was further acknowledged when he became the only keynote speaker to present at the PGA of Sweden’s coaching conference for two consecutive years. His company, Trained Brain, has also helped numerous successful British athletes and professionals reach new heights.

In conclusion, Jamie Edwards’ background as both an athlete and a coach uniquely qualifies him as a high-performance speaker.
