About Anna Turney
Anna Turney is a distinguished British Paralympic skier who transitioned from a life-altering snowboarding accident to becoming a world-class athlete. After a spinal cord injury sustained during a snowboarding accident in Japan left her paralysed, Anna showed extraordinary resolve by returning to the slopes as a mono-skier. Just four years after watching the Torino Winter Games from a hospital bed, she represented Great Britain at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, securing a sixth-place finish.
Her international sporting career continued with multiple events at the Sochi 2014 Paralympics, contributing to the most successful GB Winter Paralympic team to date. Beyond the Olympic stage, Anna has performed at the highest level in World and European championships. Her transition from rehabilitation in Colorado to being talent-spotted by national coaches in France serves as a powerful testament to her dedication and technical excellence.
Now a dedicated supporter of the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust and Disability Snowsport UK, Anna discusses the psychological demands of peak performance and the importance of single-minded focus. She provides audiences with a compelling look at overcoming fear and using setbacks as fuel for future success. Booking Anna offers organisations a unique perspective on adaptability and the mental strength required to excel under pressure in the modern world.
On stage, Anna Turney is best known for talks on Resilience and Peak Performance. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
