Twenty-three years as an elite athlete teaches you the importance of planning, strategy, commitment and developing the right mindset for success.

Mark is a wise, witty and engaging awards host, presenter and after-dinner speaker. He draws upon his career as a disciplined competitive international swimmer, high-profile commentator and popular television personality to inspire and entertain his audience.

As well as inspiring teams and individuals with his experiences from elite sport, Mark has also reflected on the role his personal life has played in his professional performance. Despite the dedication, sacrifice and achievement in the pool, he has considered how his reluctance to be open about being gay with colleagues and coaches may have impacted on his professional performance and general wellbeing.
