Helen Glover MBE

Helen Glover MBE is one of Great Britain’s most successful and respected rowers, celebrated for her extraordinary achievements in one of the toughest sports in the world. As a double Olympic gold medallist and multiple World and European Champion, Helen has set new standards for performance, consistency and determination.

Her journey is one of true inspiration. Having only taken up rowing in 2008 through the Sporting Giants talent identification programme, she rose from complete beginner to Olympic champion in just four years  a remarkable testament to her dedication and mindset. Alongside her long-time rowing partner Heather Stanning, she became a symbol of teamwork, trust and composure under pressure, famously going undefeated for five years at international level.

Since stepping away from full-time competition, Helen has become a passionate advocate for physical activity, mental wellbeing, and pushing personal boundaries. Returning to elite rowing after becoming a mother of three, she demonstrated that excellence and family life can coexist through resilience, balance and purpose. As a speaker, Helen is articulate, engaging and deeply motivating, inspiring audiences with her lessons on discipline, consistency, high standards and achieving success against the odds.
