Daniel Caines
 

Daniel Caines is a highly accomplished professional athlete and motivational and inspirational speaker.

Daniel won World, European and Commonwealth titles, individually and as part of relay team and competed in 2 Olympics before retiring after the Europa Cup in 2007 in Munich. His medals included –

• World Silver Medallist 400m

• European Bronze Medallist

• European & Commonwealth Games relay Gold Medals

Daniel comes from a family with a fine sporting pedigree. His mother Blondelle Thompson set a British record at 13.0 for 100m hurdles in 1974 and ran for Britain in the European Championships that year and his father Joe Caines was a British junior international in 1970.

However, Daniels career almost never took off and hampered by injury, it looked like Daniel was destined never to achieve his dream and compete at the Olympics. He was to prove everyone wrong.

1998 -  Daniel was the fastest in the UK at Under 20 level but the night before the world junior trials he sprained my ankle but still made the team

1999 – Suffered a Double Stress Fracture of the back and his career was delayed again

2000 – Whilst continuing to train, Daniel successfully graduates from the University of Swansea with a Law Degree

2000 – Now ranked 37th in the UK over 400m – Daniel charged on the road to Sydney, reducing his personal best by 1.3 seconds and became British no.1 and no.2 in Europe. He has improved 18m in 6 weeks a remarkable achievement and finished 4th at the Sydney Olympics.

2001 – World Indoor champion aged 21!!

Daniels message is of self-determination and the desire to succeed and he believes:-

• Each day stars are found – so why could it not be you!

• Positivity breeds positivity – how those around you can make you more positive.

• The only things guaranteed in life are not only death and taxes! Setbacks will occur, but its not so much the setback but how you handle it that will determine the outcome.

Now a successful Business Development Director for an IFA Firm, Daniel still finds the time to deliver his messages to businesses and organisations across the UK.
