Biography

2021 Sports Hall of Fame inductee Jana Pittman’s story is a roller coaster of triumph, defeat, failure and success. She will take you on a journey through the peaks and troughs that helped shape her career and build her into who she is today.

Two times World Champion, Four times Commonwealth Champion, in the sport of athletics, Jana Pittman personifies resilience and determination. When continued injuries hampered her athletic career and could have signalled retirement, she swapped the track for the ice. Jana joined the Australian Women’s bobsleigh team, to become the first women to represent Australia in both a Summer (2000,2004) and Winter Olympic Games (2014).

Off the track Jana has completed a Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery at the University of Western Sydney in 2019 (graduating with 1st class honours and the university medal) and is now a junior doctor at a hospital in Western Sydney. In 2010 she completed a Masters of Reproduction Medicine at University of NSW and has initiated her PhD in Obstetrics (focusing on aspects of uterus transplantation).

Jana was recently a participant on the gruelling television show SAS Australia on Channel 7, making it to the last day and being the final female standing of the 18 celebrity recruits, despite it being only 5.5mths after the birth of her last child. Her autobiography ‘Just Another Hurdle’ came out in April 2017.

Have Jana inspire and entertain at your next event or bring her in for a ‘personalised workshop’. Jana can tailor make a presentation to your needs or use some of her favourite topics to uplift.

Testimonials

If I lived to 100 and achieved what Jana has in her first 30 years I would be extremely proud and fulfilled. What an amazingly accomplished and inspiring story, so raw with disappointment at times and uplifting with success and happiness at others. So many life lessons in such a short period and I couldn't recommend Jana more highly

Sullivan Dewing

If you are looking for an amazing speaker - Jana is your lady! Jana was BRILLIANT! By far the best speaker to date we have engaged. She was real, raw, uplifting & inspiring! We have had multiple emails from guests with raving reviews! She delivered far more than we expected & was so accomodating to not only my team but our guests. Can not recommend her highly enough!

Business Women Albury Wodonga

The response from Jana's keynote has been overwhelmingly positive! Her storytelling and vulnerability gripped the audience and were powerful devices to help us all reimagine our careers and realise that our fears and failures can give way to some of the biggest opportunities.
