Frank Dick

Former President of the Amateur Athletics Association

Renowned as one of the best motivational speakers today, Frank Dick's presentations are highly amusing and anecdotal, challenging and inspirational, making uncomfortable listening for anyone prepared to accept second best.

Coaching has been Frank's raison d'être for decades, inspiring world-beating performances from some of the top names in sport - Daley Thompson, Boris Becker, Gerhard Berger, Denise Lewis, Marat Safin and Katarina Witt.  In business, he has helped develop a coaching culture in Barclays, British Telecom, Unilever, Shell, Abbey National and Rolls Royce.

His expertise derives from years of detailed research into individual success and achievement. Frank combines this wealth of knowledge and experience into an informative and motivational approach to achieving long-lasting transformation of both individual and team performance. 

Currently President of the European Athletics Coaches Association and a board member of the UK Sports Institute, Scottish Institute of Sport and member of the IAAF Coaches Commission, Frank has also held the post of Chairman of the British Olympic Coaches Advisory Programme (1983 - 1994), and Director of Coaching for the British Athletics Federation (1974 - 1994).

As well as his presentations; 'Winning', 'The Winning Team Advantage' and 'Leading Edge', Frank offers an exciting new approach to training and development for business through his 'coaching' methods. His interactive 'Coaching Workshops' build on the general desire for improvement and will inspire people to better business performance.

Frank is author of three major publications, 'Sports Training Principles', 'Winning' and 'Winning Lines', all classics in their fields.  Frank’s contribution to sport and coaching has been recognised in being awarded an OBE in 1989, induction to the UK Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999 and the prestigious title "UK Sporting Hero" by Sport UK in 2001.
