Testimonials
International Health, Racquets and Sportsclub Association
- The closing keynote session was the liveliest and most emotional of the congress. Derek Redmond, world 4x400m relay gold medallist, took to the stage with a vigour that few could have mustered at 10 o'clock on a Saturday morning. He led an enthralled audience through the story behind winning his gold medal and used the experience to emphasise that its teamwork that matters when it comes to achieving your goals. Many in the audience were moved to tears watching the footage from the Barcelona Olympics, then Derek skilfully lifted the mood again leaving people with a distinctive message using a Rubix cube.
