Bring Tom Mitchell to Your Next Event

The perfect after dinner speaker or celebrity guest is one with more than one talent; a sportsman or woman who is eloquent and knowledgeable on their topic, or an actor who has the gift of the gab.

Rugby player Tom Mitchell is one such man – not only one of the most talented rugby players of his generation, he’s also an Oxford graduate with two degrees, including a Masters completed at Oxford University.

Having more than one facet to his personality means that he’s relatable for audience members from diverse backgrounds and with diverse interests. Even if someone attending your event has no interest in sports, they may be interested in his academic achievements and how he has juggled those with his career as an international sports star.

Born in 1989, Tom grew up in Cuckfield, a large village in Sussex and attended the prestigious Worth School, also in that county. After completing a Bachelor’s degree at Bristol University where he studied English and Philosophy, Mitchell gained admission to a Masters programme at Oxford, studying History.

This alone would be more than enough achievement for a man who is not yet 30, but the plucky Brit is also a world class rugby player and captains the British Rugby 7s side. In one season he picked up an incredible 358 points for the side, making him the top point scorer for the 2013/14 HSBC Sevens World Series, and won a silver medal for his country in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

A fine sportsman, he’s also a great leader and an inspiring speaker – having suffered several setbacks due to serious injuries, he’s perfectly placed to talk about triumphing over adversity. As a young man in the prime of his career, he’s also a great choice for a younger audience as he’s relatable as well as respected.
