Growing up in Zimbabwe, Courtney Orange loved everything sport related. Captaining the primary schools’ athletics, cricket and rugby team, Courtney was awarded of the sportsman of the year award.
Gymnastics was the sport Courtney excelled in and became the national gymnastics champion of the country 6 times in a row and was chosen to represent the country at the All Africa Games and the Commonwealth Games.
An injury lead to the birth of a new pathway in becoming a professional dancer and entertainer performing for the likes of Madonna, The Spice Girls, Iron Maiden, Will Smith and Girls Aloud just to name a few.
The ability to spot, recruit and contract talent was the next pathway that took Courtney travelling with entertainers and performers across the world when he started an award-winning entertainment agency.
Creating and producing live entertainment shows that performed for royalty, celebrities and for world renowned brands enabled Courtney to buy his 1st house, put food on the table and give opportunities to hundreds of performers worldwide.
COVID brought that all to a standstill, which meant the need to reinvent himself into what he is now, “The Wellbeing Motivational Resilience Speaker”
The delivering of over 500 events and enhancing the wellbeing and motivational journeys of over 200,000 people, Courtney now speaks to students, educational staff, organisations and events on the topics of Resilience, Entrepreneurship, Peak Performance, Wellbeing and Positive Mindset.
Every athlete faces tough times, whether it’s injury, defeat, or personal challenges. In this talk, our athletes open up about the adversity they have experienced and how they found the strength to bounce back. Pupils will learn about the importance of resilience, determination, and staying positive in difficult situations. These are valuable lessons they can use in school, sport, and life.
Behind every athlete’s success is the importance of looking after their mind as well as their body. In this honest and supportive talk, our athletes open up about how they manage pressure, deal with setbacks, and stay mentally healthy. Pupils will hear positive, practical advice on looking after their own wellbeing, coping with stress, and the importance of speaking up and supporting each other.
Even individual athletes rely on the support of a team. This talk highlights the importance of working together, trusting others, and playing your part. Pupils will hear how teamwork creates success in sport and how these skills can make a difference in school, friendships, and everyday situations.
Reaching the top in sport takes more than talent. It requires leadership and performing at your very best when it matters most. In this talk, our athletes share how they prepare to deliver under pressure, lead by example, and bring out the best in themselves and those around them. Pupils will learn how strong leadership, focus, and self-belief can help them achieve their own peak performance in school, sport, and life.
We were so encouraged and inspired by Courtney Orange! He came with enthusiasm and positivity that was enjoyed by all throughout his time at the school. The children were excited to meet him and take part in his activities. It was a great day and we look forward to the next time!”
