Biography
As an Olympic and Paralympic coach, Keith Antoine’s focus is on performance improvement, both on a personal level and within teams. It comes when people clearly understand what they need to do, and have the resolve to get on and do it.
Keith has held numerous national coaching positions, working with juniors, seniors, men and women 100m, 200m and 400m runners. He has trained Denise Lewis, Iwan Thomas and Jamie Baulch, and acted as personal coach to Katharine Merry, Allison Curbishley and Darren Campbell. He prepared the men’s amputee 4x100m relay team for London 2012 as well as coaching gold medalist Richard Whitehead and silver medalist Stef Reid. Keith also coached Richard to his gold and silver medals in Rio.
Alongside coaching, Keith has also worked for multi-nationals in the IT industry - during growth and recession, mergers and acquisition. He’s been involved in project management and training programmes, as well as personal development and experiential learning.
Combining his experience in management training and athletics, Keith delivers high-energy motivational presentations. As in his book Working Together, he provides a framework to help delegates build trust between one another (like a relay team), and develop the will to improve their own performance. He gets entire audiences out of their seats and physically involved.
“Keith got us all thinking in a different way.”
Thank you for your tremendous contribution to our Forum on Wednesday 1st October. Your presentation was informative, authoritative and entertaining and was extremely well received. In addition, your willingness to stay afterwards and join in with our exercises was above and beyond.
Your presentation was personal, informative and honest. You very much captured the tone and mood of the day and helped to ensure delegates left with a real sense of purpose.
Please can you pass on our sincere thanks to Keith for a fantastic session today. He was just brilliant – motivating, highly entertaining and it struck a perfect balance for our audience. We've had lots of good feedback and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Very pleased. Keith came for the full day which added real value and fed into his presentation. He did what we asked for and added a lot of humour as well as making some serious points. Verbal feedback from delegates has been very positive. He was a very good choice, and did himself and JLA proud!
Keith was awesome today at 29 (Glasgow, Royal Mile Exchange). His input today was phenomenal and has really hit home. Thanks buddy
