More About Luke Tyburski

Luke Tyburski | The Journey

A former professional footballer, and turned global adventurer, through various injuries (and seven surgeries later), Luke Tyburski was forced to retire from his elite multi-sport career.

Sharing his impactful journey on stages across the globe, while working with senior leadership teams, executives, and professional athletes as a high-performance leadership coach – his frameworks provide structure and support for others to continually learn, grow, and perform at their best.

He’s run through the Sahara desert, down Mt. Everest, and across a tropical forest in China without food or water. Luke completed a double Ironman triathlon, and created the world-first 2,000km in 12 days Ultimate Triathlon from Morocco to Monaco, with award winning documentaries made about these challenges, and he’s had books published as well.

He lived remotely in Nepal for months without electricity or running water to learn about the Nepalese culture and run up and down mountains all day long.

But those are just the headlines…

The real lessons come from what he’s endured, learned, and rebuilt — not only physically, but mentally. Behind every achievement were setbacks, including those seven surgeries, long-term depression, burnout, and standing on the edge of giving up on life.

From this lived experience, he’s developed powerful, practical tools for you to enhance & evolve how you VIEW situations, THINK about scenarios, and ACT daily.

Grounded in Neuroscience & Psychology, shaped by high performance sport, and battle-tested through real adversity — we shouldn’t try to avoid adversity, just acknowledge when we choose it, or when it chooses us!

After more than two decades immersed in the world of high performance — both in sport and in business — Luke is ready to share his knowledge and insight with you!

Luke was a pleasure to work with. He is so friendly, has such incredible energy and enthusiasm, from the winners to the last person that crossed that finish line. We had great comments from our competitors and we can’t wait to work with him again.
Jo Pickering, Event Manager of Challenging Events

Luke presents at several of our courses, and has done for many years now. He speaks with motivation and passion about his endurance challenges, his mindset coaching techniques, and the room is clearly inspired as they listen and interact with him during these talks. Luke is easy to listen to, captivates his audience and gives empowerment to those in front of him.
Matthew Snedden, Tigrent Learning UK Teacher, Legacy Education Alliance, Inc.

Energetic, passionate, crazy, extreme, raw, mind-blowing, no nonsense. The list goes on to describe this ultra-endurance athlete, adventurer, speaker, coach and author. He absolutely wowed the YES Group audience and had them spellbound as he talked about how he chooses his positive attitude every time he takes on a new challenge that pushes him to his extreme. I’ve no doubt that Luke will be back on our stage in the future.
Tony Snow, YES Group, Vice Chairman

Luke came to speak with a range of students from years 7-11. The students were really engaged especially when he talked through some of his life changing experiences. What seemed to make the most impact was when Luke talked about how he used his moments of failure to reflect and find ways to improve. They were also really interested to note Luke’s passion for living life to the full and taking chances, regardless if other people considered his plans impossible. I would recommend any organisation bringing him in to talk to students or adults alike.
