Four-time Paralympian in Wheelchair Basketball, U25 World Champion & Named Most Valuable Player of the Tournament, Ambassador for Champion Health & Disability Inclusion Project

Amy Conroy is a four-time Paralympian and one of the leading figures in British wheelchair basketball. As a long-standing member of the Great Britain Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team, Amy has represented her country at the London 2012, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Renowned for her resilience, leadership and commitment to inclusion, she has built an outstanding reputation both on and off the court. Alongside her sporting career, Amy is a Champion Health Ambassador and motivational speaker who delivers powerful talks on wellbeing, inclusive leadership, teamwork and disability inclusion, helping organisations create stronger and more supportive cultures.

Amy began competing internationally as a teenager, making her senior debut at the 2010 BT Paralympic World Cup before later representing Great Britain at the World Championships in Birmingham that same year. Her performances quickly established her as one of the sport’s rising talents. In 2012, she made her Paralympic debut in London, finishing as Great Britain’s top scorer in the opening match and helping the team achieve their highest Paralympic placing since 1996. Amy continued to play a pivotal role throughout the next decade, including Great Britain’s historic fourth-place finish at the Rio Paralympics in 2016. She later represented Team GB again at the Tokyo and Paris Paralympic Games while continuing her work as an advocate for inclusive wellbeing and accessibility.

In 2015, Amy co-captained the Great Britain Women’s U25 team to gold at the World Wheelchair Basketball Championships in Beijing and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. She has also earned European Championship bronze medals and helped make history in 2018 when Great Britain became the first British women’s team to reach a World Championship final, claiming silver in Hamburg. In 2025, she was appointed Ambassador for the Disability Inclusion Project in recognition of her ongoing advocacy and leadership within disability sport and inclusion initiatives.

Away from elite competition, Amy is widely respected for translating the lessons of high-performance sport into practical workplace insight. As a regular speaker for the Teenage Cancer Trust, she shares honest and engaging perspectives on resilience, adapting to pressure, confidence and collaboration. Her inspiring journey, combined with her authentic communication style, makes her a highly sought-after speaker for corporate events, schools and leadership programmes.
