Katrina Webb

Paralympic gold medallist Katrina Webb offers a unique insight into sports, life, and society.

After securing a netball scholarship at a young age with the Australian Institute of Sport, a surprise twist of fate saw her diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Instead of letting this label get the better of her, Katrina instead decided to compete in a range of athletic events, allowing her to go to the Paralympics and represent her country.

Katrina now resides in Adelaide where she shares her story of perseverance and triumph. She speaks on resilience, how to stay motivated in times of hardship, as well as diversity and inclusion. Katrina has gone as far as to represent Australia at the United Nations and has also been an ambassador for the International Paralympic Committee. She is available for motivational speaking engagements throughout Adelaide.

During his time playing in Malaysia, thousands of kilometres away from family and friends, Robert and his wife Nel suffered the tragic death their newborn baby after a premature birth. Robert's story of how he overcame this heartbreak to continue to perform at the highest of levels is a testament to his resilience and is the reason why he sits on Pickstar's list of Top 5 Motivational Speakers in Adelaide.
