"Emma Nedov was an exceptional keynote speaker at our inaugural CSNSW Sport Award night in December 2024 at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. Her story of resilience and determination captivated our audience, particularly the students, who were inspired by her journey through school and sport.

Emma shared her personal experiences, from her early days as a gymnast to stepping away from the sport and ultimately making a remarkable comeback at 28 to compete for the 2024 Paris Games. Her insights into perseverance, self-belief, and balancing sport with personal growth resonated deeply with everyone in the room.

Her ability to connect with students and athletes alike was truly impressive. She spoke with authenticity and passion, making her journey relatable and inspiring for the next generation of athletes. Emma’s presence elevated our event, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.

We are incredibly grateful for Emma’s time and contribution to our awards night and highly recommend her as a speaker who can motivate and engage any audience."

"It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, people were grabbing onto every word. After Emma spoke there was a real buzz in the room…. We had a lot of young people there and I think she was a great inspiration for young people. When they hear someone talk like that about getting up and getting over your hurdles and barriers and to keep aiming for your goals ”
