Derek Redmond's Story: "I Finished Last… But I Finished"
“Somebody asked me, ‘what is your definition of success?’, I said, ‘to me, it’s getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.’” - Derek Redmond
In this motivational speech, Derek Redmond recalls the time he fell in the 1992 Olympics 400m semi-finals, and how the words from his doctor propelled him to success after sprinting. His words of wisdom are guaranteed to make you believe that failure truly does bring success.
Who is Derek Redmond?
Derek Redmond is a former Olympic athlete turned motivational speaker whose story will not only pull on your heartstrings but also give you the encouragement you need to succeed. His career was catapulted in 1991 at the Relay World Championships, taking home the Gold medal.
However, Derek’s sprinting career was brought to a close when, in the 1992 Olympics 400m sprinting semi-finals, he tore his hamstring - a career-ending injury. Despite this, Derek walked to the finish line. Accompanied by his father, Derek's perseverance has been viewed over 120 million times, a clear sign that his story is enough to evoke inspiration in everyone.
After his premature retirement, Derek turned to motivational speaking, talking at corporate events and after dinner talks. He has now been to 2000 events in over 30 countries, which reflects his success in speaking. Not only does he talk about the challenges he faced in the aftermath of his injury, but Derek also speaks about his personal experiences with racism, a discussion that resonates with all in attendance.
