Book Michael Johnson through The Keynote Curators
Biography
Michael Johnson is a four-time Olympic gold medalist and eight-time World Champion, widely regarded as one of the greatest sprinters in track-and-field history. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, he became the first man to win both the 200m and 400m at the same Olympic Games, famously competing in his gold racing shoes. He also set world records in both events, including his legendary 19.32-second 200m performance.
Following his competitive career, Johnson transitioned into business, broadcasting, coaching, and keynote speaking. An award-winning television commentator and performance mindset expert, he shares lessons on high performance, preparation, resilience, leadership, and achieving ambitious goals. He is also the founder and Commissioner of Grand Slam Track, a professional track league created to elevate the sport and its athletes.
Michael Johnson is also an author. His books include Slaying the Dragon: How to Turn Your Small Steps to Great Feats, in which he shares strategies for overcoming fears and achieving personal goals, and Gold Rush, which explores the qualities and mindsets behind Olympic champions through conversations with elite athletes such as Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.begin0
