Winning Mindset: Motivation, Resilience and Performing Under Pressure

About the session

What does it take to perform at the highest level – not just once, but year after year?

In this inspiring keynote, Olympic swimmer Therese Alshammar shares lessons from a career that spanned more than two decades at the very top of international sport. Competing in six Olympic Games and winning more than 70 international championship medals, she achieved something rare in elite sport: staying at the top long after most athletes have reached their peak.

Through stories from international competition, she explores the mindset behind sustained performance — motivation, resilience, and the discipline required to keep improving over time.
