Tennis legend Sir Andy Murray has joined the ranks of motivational speakers after quitting the sport.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is set to deliver talks on overcoming adversity, mental strength, and achieving top performance.
He’s teamed up with Chartwell Speakers in London, who also have PM Gordon Brown, Olympic hero Sir Mo Farah, and television favourite Graham Norton on their books.

Murray, 37, is praised on Chartwell’s website. A section about him reads: “Andy’s story of overcoming adversity continues to inspire both on and off the court.
“Despite hip surgery in 2018 and 2019, his resilience and passion for the game have seen him return to the court, inspiring millions with his determination to compete at the highest level.”
It adds: “His ability to connect with audiences and share his experiences offers valuable lessons in resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence.”
Murry gave up tennis after last summer’s Paris Olympics after recurrent injuries.
He decided to retire from professional tennis primarily due to persistent hip problems and the desire to prioritize his family and other interests.
He had a hip resurfacing operation in 2019 and faced ongoing challenges with his hip and other injuries during the final years of his career.
He later revealed that retirement has been “the complete opposite” to what he expected and that he is not missing tennis as much as he thought he would.
“Since I’ve stopped, I feel really free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want,” Murray told BBC Radio 4.
“I can dedicate time to my children and have free time to play golf or go to the gym on my own terms. It is really nice and I didn’t expect that.”
Post-retirement, he has also taken to coaching his former competitor Novak Djokovic.
