About Bethany Hamilton

Bethany Hamilton is a professional surfer from the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii.  Having grown up on the North Shore she has been a surfer girl her entire life.  With dreams of one day becoming a surfer on the ASP World Championship Tour, she was always in the water.  One could say that she was at one with the ocean.  However, her life took a turn she did not expect in 2003 when she was attacked by a shark and lost her left arm.  It was a struggle, but she overcame the adversity to get back in the water with a modified surfboard and eventually reached her dream of landing on the ASP World Championship Tour.  She chronicled her journey back in the 2004 best seller Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get on the Board.  The book inspired millions, and eventually became a hit film in 2011.  In 2014 Hamilton won her first pro event at the Surf ‘n’ Sea Pipeline Women’s Pro, and has been one of the most solid performers on the ASP circuit over the last seven years.

Female Athlete Speakers

Female Athlete Speakers

Professional female athletes have become a major part of the sports world over the past several years. Women continue to reach new heights of popularity on and off the field by setting records and breaking social barriers. Examples of these extraordinary achievements include Serena Williams as the face of tennis, Jessica Mendoza being the first female broadcaster for Major League Baseball and Becky Hammon being the first female basketball coach in the NBA. As female athlete speakers continue to increase in popularity, corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, women’s groups and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired professional female athlete, coach or broadcaster at their event. Whether it be a speaking engagement, virtual meeting, trade show appearance, VIP Meet and greet, product endorsement or other events, the team at Athlete Speakers will work with your group or organization to find the perfect professional female athlete speakers.

Christian Athlete Speakers

Christian Athlete Speakers

Christian athlete speakers are highly sought after by churches, youth groups, universities, and other faith-based organizations throughout the country. Such groups recognize the value of having a current or retired athlete, coach or broadcaster share their faith-based message and how it contributed to their success on and off the field. Christian athlete speakers also add star power to your events, which helps boost attendance. No matter what your budget is, our booking agents can help you find the perfect champion for Christ.

The very best surfing speakers are adept at speaking in both in-person and virtual settings.
