Dawn Harper Nelson is an Olympic Gold Medalist in the 100-meter hurdles with a personal record of 12.37. She is a native of East St. Louis, Illinois, and has become an inspirational speaker and advocate for the transformative power of coaching.
Dawn Harper Nelson's coaching journey began with Coach Nino Fennoy, who recognized her potential and instilled in her a champion mentality from the beginning. She also worked with Coach Gerald Nave, who identified her speed and intelligence and redirected her from sprinting to hurdles, fundamentally changing her athletic trajectory. Her high school coaches were instrumental in building her belief and confidence, teaching her to say "state champion" with conviction.
At UCLA, Dawn Harper Nelson worked under legendary coach Bobby Kersee and female head coach Jeanette Bouldin, both of whom had profound impacts on her development. She learned from Kersee's elite coaching philosophy that "everybody can't go with you where you're going" and from Bouldin's example of how to conduct herself with dignity and grace in competitive spaces.

She emphasizes that coaches are shaping future CEOs, leaders, and champions in all areas of life. She is committed to helping coaches understand that their influence lasts a lifetime, with athletes remembering and referencing their coaches decades later. Her message is one of gratitude to coaches and inspiration for athletes to pursue their dreams with excellence, sacrifice, and persistence.
