A five-time Winter Olympian, World Champion, and one of the most successful aerial skiers in the history of the sport, Jacqui has spent over two decades quite literally defying gravity. Her 20-year career wasn’t just defined by medals and records—it was a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and relentless self-belief.

From the moment she joined the Australian ski team at just 16, Jacqui dared to dream bigger than anyone around her. In a sport where athletes often peak quickly and retire early, she pushed the limits—returning from serious injuries including knee reconstructions, a shattered hip, and a broken back to not only compete but dominate on the world stage. She was the first Australian woman to win a World Cup title in aerial skiing and went on to break multiple world records, including the highest score ever recorded in the sport.

But it’s not just her athletic feats that set Jacqui apart—it’s her mindset. Her career is a masterclass in courage, discipline, and tenacity. She’s a walking case study in what happens when you tune out the noise, back yourself completely, and set audacious goals without fear of failure.

Today, Jacqui brings that same mindset to the stage. A powerhouse speaker with a natural gift for storytelling, she captivates audiences with her honesty, humour, and unfiltered insights into the grit behind the glory. Whether she’s unpacking resilience, goal-setting, or the psychology of performance, Jacqui doesn’t just inspire—she shifts people’s thinking.

Her keynote isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to overcome adversity, sustain success, and pursue big dreams—on and off the mountain. Her message is bold but clear: you don’t need to be an Olympian to think like one.

Jacqui’s story resonates across industries and generations. She’s worked with corporate teams, schools, sports organisations, and leaders across the globe who are looking to energise their people and cultivate a culture of ambition, courage, and grit.

Authentic, high-energy, and unapologetically real, Jacqui Cooper isn’t just a motivational speaker—she’s a catalyst for change.
