Former Jockey Sir Anthony McCoy OBE is known as the greatest jump jockey of all time and one of the world’s highest profile sporting personalities.

He recorded 4,358 wins, including the 2010 Grand National, the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase & King George VI Chase. Sir Anthony remained at the top of his sport for 1040 weeks – longer than any other sporting talent ever. The 41-year old is the only sportsman of his kind to have been awarded ‘BBC Sports Personality of the Year’ (2010), the ‘BBC Sports Personality Lifetime Achievement Award’ (2015) & ‘BT’s Outstanding Contribution to Sport Award’ (2015).
Sir Anthony spent his career setting records which will not be broken in our lifetimes – a tribute to his stamina, endurance, motivation and dedication to the world of sport. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we will never have another AP McCoy.

He has published autobiographies such as “Winner: My Racing Life” and a fictional book “Taking the Fall“. Through his distinguished career as one of the greatest Jockey’s ever AP has broken bones more than 700 times, ridden the equivalent of 1.7 times around the world, and spent a record-setting 3 minutes in a cryotherapy room, at temperatures of -150 degrees after fracturing 2 vertebrae.
As a result of his outstanding career, former jockey Sir Anthony is an exceptional keynote, after-dinner, corporate and motivational speaker.
“We invited Sir Anthony McCoy as a guest speaker at an internal launch meeting to talk about his career highs and lows and how he maintained focus, self-motivation drive and never settled even when a goal was achieved. AP was a delight, he was honest, straight-talking, funny and completely engaged the entire group.” – Ailbhe O’Toole Commercial Strategy Manager, Pfizer
