Liz Gleadle Biography
Liz Gleadle is a 3x Olympian, 12-time Canadian Champion, and the National Record holder in javelin. A professional athlete for Nike, she competed on the world’s biggest stages, from the London, Rio, and Tokyo Olympic Games to four World Championships. Liz loved that track and field was an environment where she could unleash her intensity and how it turned into success in sport, but she struggled with perfectionism, traditional systems of athletic training, and the prejudice that comes with being a muscular 6 ‘1 woman. At the time, she couldn’t see a balanced path to success that honored her authentic self, nor did she understand the deeper emotional roots of her athletic plateaus. It seemed that the only way to achieve success in her sport was to be uncomfortable in her body and keep up the status quo.
While pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Liz became obsessed with human optimization. In 2012, her relentless work ethic and data-driven approach paid off: she smashed the Canadian record and made the Olympic Finals. This strategy came at a cost —she was burnt out from chronic back pain, and took a year to rehab the injury. Much to her surprise – and everyone else’s – when she returned with 20lbs less muscle, only 2 months of throwing, and nothing but rehab exercises for training, she broke her Canadian Record by another 3 meters and became ranked 5th in the world. She had trained way less intensely and had performed better.
This realization sparked a decade-long search for different ways to tap into her full potential. She started with deep dives into nutrition, sleep, yoga and meditation, then became her own coach to expand past traditional models of training and into boxing, acrobatics, flow arts, dance, and leveraging emotional states. This cross-training exploration allowed her to tap into a new level of embodied intuition. She let go of her perfectionism, tapped into flow, and developed a new relationship with her body.
As a speaker, what makes Liz a unique voice is her ability to bridge these two worlds. She speaks the language of both the data-driven programs and the intuitive wisdom of the body. With powerful storytelling and actionable tools, she guides people away from the grind or burnout and toward a joyful, authentic, and rewarding adventure. Having retired from the sport in 2024, Liz now works as a Holistic Movement and Performance Consultant. By looking at the big picture to coach her clients, she connects the dots between various aspects that affect performance and comes up with creative and efficient solutions that unlock new levels of success and well-being they never dreamed possible.
