Originally born in Sudan, Peter’s journey has taken him from never even training for a track event to his hidden talent emerging at the age of 17 at a high school in Perth and eventually representing Australia at 2 Olympic Games and multiple other international events. Today, Peter is an accomplished middle distance runner who holds the current national 800m record and in 2021, he became the first Australian athlete in 53 years to make it to the 800m final at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
❝ Honestly Peter was awesome. He was so good. Peter is just so human, had to work hard and nothing was handed to him. We got all the right messages. Thank you so much. ❞
❝ We were privileged to have Peter as guest speaker at our end of year celebration function. Peter captivated our audience with his inspirational story and words of wisdom. His sense of humor and valuable life lessons motivated all in the room to use his 4 tools to reach one’s goals. We look forward to having you speak to us again! ❞
❝ Thank you so much for organising Peter to come out and speak to our students. He has been one of the highlights of the year so far! I had fantastic feedback from both staff and students about his talk. He was really engaging and had a fantastic way with the students. I would love to organise Peter to come out to Ringwood again in 2020. He was a great speaker! ❞
❝ Peter Bol has been involved with the Victorian Institute of Sport’s (VIS) Community Programs from 2016 to 2020 and during that period has been one of the most popular speakers and VIS facility tour guides.
Peter has a fantastic story to share along with a great personality and charisma that his audience is drawn towards. He has a way of relating to all the groups he has worked with here at the VIS, from primary school students, secondary students to international university students or corporations. It doesn’t matter what group he speaks to, he has a way of connecting with them.
Since joining the VIS Community Programs in 2016, he has grown in confidence and competence, to the stage where he was able to host the VIS TV sessions at our Awards of Excellence.
Coming to Australia as a refugee from South Sudan, Peter demonstrates resilience and overcoming adversity. Everyone can learn something from his story and I would definitely recommend him as your next guest speaker.❞
