Murray retired after last year's Paris Olympics following a stellar career in British tennis.

The former Wimbledon champion will deliver talks on leadership, mental strength and reaching peak performances.

"Andy's story of overcoming adversity continues to inspire both on and off the court," states Chartwell's website.

Murray will draw upon his wealth of experience from a glittering tennis career that saw him reach the pinnacle of the sport.

The Scot joins an impressive roster of speakers including former chancellor Jeremy Hunt.

Despite undergoing hip surgeries in 2018 and 2019, his determination saw him return to competitive tennis at the highest level.

"His resilience and passion for the game have seen him return to the court, inspiring millions with his determination," Chartwell notes.

Murray faced ongoing challenges with his hip during the final years of his distinguished career.

His comeback story exemplifies British grit and determination against significant odds.

Since retiring from tennis, Murray has taken on a coaching role with his former rival Novak Djokovic.

"Since I've stopped, I feel really free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want," Murray told BBC Radio 4.

He revealed retirement has been "the complete opposite" to what he expected.

"I can dedicate time to my children and have free time to play golf or go to the gym on my own terms. It is really nice and I didn't expect that."

The transition from competitor to coach has been a natural progression for the British sporting legend.

Murray and Djokovic will be hoping for success at this month's French Open, a tournament the Serb has won three times.

The coaching partnership came about after Djokovic approached Murray directly.

"He asked if I would be interested in helping, which I obviously wasn't expecting," Murray explained.

After consulting with his family, Murray embraced this "unique opportunity".

Throughout his career, Murray claimed two Wimbledon titles in 2013 and 2016, along with the US Open in 2012.
