Courtney Orange

Gymnastic Champion empowering others to achieve a positive mindset and wellbeing

Courtney Orange is an inspiring and dynamic speaker who captivates students and staff alike with his unique blend of athletic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, and empowering messages on positive mindset and wellbeing.

As a former six-time national gymnastics champion, Courtney has a deep understanding of what it takes to build resilience, overcome challenges, and achieve peak performance. He now channels this experience into his work as a speaker and deliverer for Positive Social, an organization dedicated to helping young people thrive on social media.

Beyond the inspiration of his personal story, Courtney’s sessions are packed with practical, actionable advice that students can implement immediately. His talks are designed to empower, focusing on how to use social media as a tool for connection and creativity rather than a source of anxiety or screen addiction. Students leave his sessions with a clear understanding of the importance of setting healthy time limits, the necessity of cautious communication, and the potential legal consequences of online actions, including the elements of criminal offenses related to digital behaviour. Courtney’s core message is that prevention is better than cure; by proactively adopting positive digital habits, young people can build a safer and more rewarding online experience.

Courtney's talks are high-energy, engaging, and interactive, using real-life stories and activities to connect with students from all year groups. His sessions are not about telling young people to avoid social media, but rather about empowering them to use it positively and constructively, a message that has resonated deeply with educators.

Assistant Headteacher Leena Parekh said of Courtney’s visit:

“We would like to say a huge thank you to Courtney for coming in to QPCS and delivering such a brilliant talk to the children. Courtney was inspiring, engaging and really got the children thinking about their use of social media. Even I went home and checked my privacy settings! If the offer to do it with next year’s 7 is still there I will bite your hand off! Thank you so much! Courtney was amazing!”

By blending his impressive personal journey with actionable advice, Courtney Orange delivers a powerful and memorable experience that leaves students with the tools they need to navigate the digital world and approach their lives with a champion's mindset.
