Badminton champion
Gail Emms was at the top of her game when she started hating it. But she saw talking about that ‘as a weakness’. Coming from a sporty family, Emms had started playing badminton aged four.

Emms is now a spirited speaker, commentator, and avid ambassador for the positive impact of sports on children.
