Dave Brailsford is a fabulous motivational and teamwork speaker ideal to inspire any audience at a corporate event.

Dave is a Performance Director of GB’s Cycling Team and the nation is still basking in the success of Team GB in Beijing, which was fuelled by the astonishing pedal power of the elite cyclists. The riders arrived home draped in fourteen medals – including eight of the nineteen golds.

The presiding saviour of British Cycling.

Brian Cookson, British Cycling President said: “Dave's progress and achievements since joining us a few years ago have been remarkable. His enthusiasm and professionalism, combined with his love for our sport and commitment to his job, are second to none, and I have every confidence that he will achieve even more in his role with us in the future". Dave Brailsford spent four years as a competitive cyclist in France before returning to the UK to study for his first degree in Sports Science. He subsequently went on to study for an MBA at Sheffield business school. He has been involved in cycling throughout his career and was first employed by GB Team as a consultant following the advent of lottery funding. He then moved on to become Programmes’ Director before becoming Performance Director. He brings to the role a blend of sporting knowledge and business acumen, which he has utilised to lead and develop the team into one of the most respected and successful Olympic Programmes across all sports.

Dave intends to be at the helm of GB Cycling until at-least the 2012 Games.
