Testimonials

Thank you so much for visiting us. You inspired us all and engaged with the children so well! The talk was brilliant and just hit the right note. The children loved to ask you the questions and the sessions ran really well. We really look forward to plotting your progress towards 2012. Thank again, Alastair.

Franki came into St. Catherine's Catholic Girls School on May 17th to talk to some of our year 7 girls about her sport - rowing. However, there was a lot more to her talks than just rowing; she was incredibly inspiring and motivational and a great role model for our students.

Franki discussed in detail the many aspects of her day-to-day training which was both interesting and informative.  I don't think many year 7 girls really understood just how much training a professional athlete needs to do and how dedicated they have to be in order to do well.  And this was another key element in Franki's sessions - working hard, staying focused and being committed towards your goals.  I particularly thought that Franki's outlining of how essential it is to make the most of every opportunity given was very inspiring, with many of the students commenting on this during the end of session discussions.

Franki was a fantastic speaker for our girls.  I know they enjoyed the sessions with her immensely and I am sure they were all hugely motivated by her visit.

Franki was an absolute blast with the students. The students gained a lot from her experience with us today. Would love to have Franki in again to speak to the students.

I am writing to thank you for your motivational and inspirational after dinner speech that you gave to Sir William Perkins's School Rowing Club members and their parents.

It was really refreshing to have someone who had a real story to tell and Francesca gave a brilliant account. She has a professional and entertaining manner and she was received with great enthusiasm. She pitched the level just right and enthralled her audience with her impressive achievements and her determination to overcome setbacks and her commitment to succeed. She outlined the tough regime and mental determination needed for success at the highest level.

I would recommend Francesca as an inspirational speaker; she gave a great insight into what it is like to participate at an international level and how to comeback, having been forced to take premature retirement from rowing, after a back injury.
