Desire, Drive, Determination
 

Some people have described Steven’s Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic victory as lucky. Winning Olympic gold in short track speed skating took a lot more than just luck. As in business, strategy and planning were key ingredients in that success.

Four Olympic campaigns, a bronze medal in 1994 and gold medal in 2002, 12 years of hard training, 111 stitches in his leg, and a broken neck are testimony to that hard work and persistence.

His career as an Olympic athlete was driven by determination and most importantly a will to succeed. With the same passion he showed on the ice, Steven has continued his success as a Motivational speaker, after dinner entertainer and MC to corporate clients, sportsman’s nights and schools.

His warm friendly nature, down to earth manner and use of humour is sure to help ‘break the ice’. The Bradbury story is one of the true Aussie battler who overcomes much adversity to achieve the ultimate goal.

Steven’s story touches a chord with people from all walks of life and is a prime example to all that if you “stick it out”, you too can be the LAST MAN STANDING.
