Anthony Clark

Success isn’t just about talent. It’s about the mindset, resilience, and choices that shape who we become, both in sport and life.

Anthony is a double World Silver Medalist, European Champion, and former England Captain with 106 caps, having proudly led his country for eight years. Following his decorated playing career, he transitioned into elite coaching and has spent the last eight years as both a National and Olympic coach for England and Poland.

His experience at the highest levels of sport gives him a unique insight into performance, leadership, and what it truly takes to succeed.

Through his talks, Anthony shares the real journey behind his success, the sacrifices, challenges, and setbacks that shaped him. He speaks openly about the obstacles he faced, offering students a relatable perspective on the hard work required to achieve greatness. His story is about growth, overcoming adversity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

A life-changing moment when he saved a life gave Anthony a deeper sense of purpose and clarity. It strengthened his commitment to unlock his full potential, make positive choices, and build resilience, both on and off the court.

In schools, Anthony’s talks are dynamic, engaging, and impactful. He addresses topics such as overcoming failure, building mental toughness, leadership, and the power of mindset. His personal journey serves as a powerful example of how success isn’t just about talent, it’s about the choices you make, the resilience you build, and the courage to keep going when faced with obstacles.

Anthony doesn’t just speak at students, he connects with them. With honesty and energy, he inspires young people to believe in themselves, push through challenges, and become the best version of who they are.

"Anthony was our Sky Sports Living for Sport (SSLFS) Athlete mentor and was very effective in delivering the keys to success to our SSLFS group, inspiring them to succeed in the programme. The group were so successful that one of them was nominated for student of the year and won the East Midlands area and as such was invited to the national finals at Sky Sports Studios. Anthony was also guest speaker at our PE Presentation Evening and delivered an inspiring speech to our students and parents about his personal journey from school sport to Olympic and World success. I would whole-heartedly recommend Anthony to anyone seeking a professional, inspiring evening, guest or key-note speaker who will add value to any event or programme that is being run."

– Danny Thompson, Frederick Gent School

"Anthony has delivered at our school on a number of occasions and every time has shown himself to be exceptionally well organised. Not only in his planning and preparation but in his communication before the visits and throughout the day. He has worked with a variety of different staff and students and shown himself to be personable, adaptable fun and engaging. His background story helps enthral all who hear it and the activities he organises can help develop leaderships skills and bond groups of differing student ages/abilities/backgrounds together effortlessly. I would highly recommend him."

– Miss Kim Bird, School Sports Co-ordinator, The Long Eaton School

"Anthony came into our school around 7 years ago and did this consecutively for 5 years. What amazed me in the first instance was his enthusiasm for his own sport and using badminton to ignite student’s imaginations and self-realisation of their own ability and capacity to learn new skills. He brings such relevance and perspective on motivational talks so that all ages can understand about their opportunities Anthony has brought the best out of our most challenged children. Anthony has humour, outstanding communication skills both verbally and with his body language he demonstrates such positivity that it cannot help but rub off on you. Anthony has also been a popular athlete in the local area attending our local badminton championships to generously give up his time to award the winners trophies. We certainly welcome Anthony back again."
