MEET NEIL FACHIE MBE - GOLD MEDALIST Ever wondered what it takes to win Gold? Not just once but 3 times?! Neil Fachie MBE was born in Aberdeen and is a 14 x World Champion, 3 x Gold Medalist. The world's top athletes excel when under immense pressure: years spent preparing for one event, one chance to perform, the world watching. How do some individuals rise up in these extreme situations to perform at their best while others fail to reach their full potential? Come and find out! Neil Fachie MBE was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, with a degenerative eye condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. His sight loss has played a constant factor in his life, helping him to develop his problem solving skills, adaptability and resilience. Neil became a full-time athlete in 2006, following his graduation from the University of Aberdeen. With British Athletics he achieved selection to represent Paralympics GB at Beijing 2008 in the 100m & 200m. A disappointing Paralympic debut led to Neil losing his funding.
In 2016 Neil set up LNF Coaching, along with wife and fellow Paralympic and World Champion Lora. They both passionately believe that there are tremendous possibilities when the worlds of sport and business combine. Neil works alongside high performing teams from a variety of industries, sharing his insights from the sporting world, so that they can find an edge that will take them to the next level. We are thrilled to speak with Neil Fachie |
