Paul Hockey

EVEREST CLIMBER, MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

Seven words “Never give up…never ever give up!”

Encouraged by his family that anything is possible, Paul Hockey discarded his prosthetic limb at an early age, and developed a keen interest in martial arts by the age of eight. This continued and having trained in Hapkido and Shaolin Kung Fu, the martial arts expert has three black belts. He has gone on to teach others in martial arts, and after living in Japan and teaching English, he too speaks fluent Japanese. Paul still rides a high-powered motorcycle today, and drives 50-seat coaches as a Japanese-speaking tour guide.

Mount Everest

Paul Hockey doesn’t claim to be a mountaineering expert, and in fact had no experience at all when he decided to take on Mount Everest. He travelled to New Zealand to study and train with some of the best mountaineers. At 7,000 meters and the highest mountain in the Southern Hemisphere, Paul then climbed Mount Aconcagua in South America.

He returned to Australia and continued to train for the next twelve months with his 25kg pack filled with local telephone books to further prepare him for his Everest goal. Ironically, he would later become the face and cover of the telephone book.

On his first Everest attempt he ran out of time and oxygen, and had no choice but to turn around, a harrowing 280 metres short of the summit. Paul went home not defeated, but even more determined to train harder and return to what he had set out to achieve exactly one year earlier. He did just that on 5th June 2005 at 07:42hrs.

Paul’s Motivational Speaking

One man. One arm. His story.

Paul Hockey a.k.a the one armed boxer. Three black belts in Martial Arts. The first person in the world with a disability to climb the treacherous North side of Mount Everest. He is not a small part of the Everest story rather Everest is a small part of his.

But it was her unparalleled strength, focus and determination that allowed her to transform her Bronze into Gold on Bondi Beach at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, in an overwhelming demonstration of the power of courage, persistence and personal belief.

Since retiring from national and international competition in 2005, Kerri now divides her time between her three passions – her family, coaching elite-level volleyball, and inspiring people from all walks of life to achieve excellence through her keynote presentations and motivational workshops.
