Keith AntoineElite Olympic and Paralympic Performance Coach

Keith Antoine is a distinguished athletics coach who has shaped the careers of some of Britain’s most successful Olympians and Paralympians. His coaching portfolio includes household names such as Denise Lewis, Iwan Thomas, and Darren Campbell, alongside personal coaching for Katharine Merry and Allison Curbishley. At the London 2012 Games, he prepared the men’s amputee relay team and guided Richard Whitehead and Stef Reid to podium finishes. He continued this success into the Rio Games, where he coached Whitehead to further gold and silver medals. Beyond the track, Keith draws upon an extensive corporate background in the IT sector, where he navigated the complexities of mergers, acquisitions, and shifting economic cycles. This dual expertise allows him to bridge the gap between elite sporting achievement and business efficiency. He is the author of Working Together, a work that explores how teams can build mutual trust and individual resolve using the principles of a successful relay team. His presentations are known for their high energy and physical engagement, often involving the entire audience to demonstrate the mechanics of peak performance.
