Dr Frank Dick OBE
President, European Athletics Coaches 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. He is currently involved with Ronnie Irani, Graham Gooch, Justin Rose, Ipswich Town Football Club Academy and Jean Todt (Ferrari Formula One Manager).

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.

In 2003 Frank was recognised for three awards. In recognition of the work he has done to create a coaching culture within the company, Abbey National and Frank jointly received a major training award from the prestigious American Society of Training and Development. He also received the Golden Pin Award from the European Athletics Association (EAA) for his outstanding achievements in coaching and development, while Loughborough University awarded him a doctorate for his work in advancing the theory and practice of coaching in sport and business.

Currently he is the 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.

In 2005 Frank launched www.WellGoal.com. An interactive tool used as a means of a personal systems check and a framework for his ‘WellGoal Workshops’. His new standalone presentation on ‘Managing Your Three Lane Motorway’ offers an insight into these new learning tools and tips on how to improve the management of your health and wellbeing, both in and outside of work.

Author of three major publications, ‘Sports Training Principles’, ‘Winning’ and ‘Winning Lines’, all classics in their fields.

Franks 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.

‘To say you understood our requirements and your messages resonated with the team would be a serious understatement. In my experience the impact of guest speakers in your arena tends to dissipate very quickly when the troops get back to work, but I feel very confident that your extraordinary talented delivery will make its mark permanently’
Conor O’Kelly, Chief Executive, NCB Stockbrokers , Ireland – Jan 2005
