Leon McKenzie

Leon McKenzie spent 18-years as a professional footballer and 4-years as a professional boxer, but his success wasn’t always easy and left Leon often feeling depressed.

Having pulled himself away from this dark place, Leon now inspires audiences though his corporate keynote talks, via hosting events and through his social media.

By sharing his own experiences it’s Leon’s end-goal to have a greater understanding of mental health concerns so he can help others overcome their battles.

More About

Leon McKenzie has had not one, but two elite sporting careers, in pro football and boxing, but life circumstances and speeding convictions, resulted in a downward spiral of depression and for many years Leon didn’t know know how to fight it and even tried to end his life.

However, Leon desperately wanted to remain positive and after seeking help for his own mental health, Leon sought to speak to audiences to share his powerful message.

He is now a motivational mental health speaker and ambassador for mental health.

Working with talkSport, Leon has hosted call-ins helping listeners with their mental health concerns, and has discussed male body image within sport and the media.
