Brett Hawke is a two-time Olympian, three-time Olympic coach, high-performance executive, entrepreneur, and founder of Sprint Revolution, with more than 25 years of experience building athletes, teams, systems, and businesses designed to perform at the highest level. His career spans Olympic and professional sport, NCAA Division I athletics, executive leadership, business development, media, and performance consulting.

A former Australian Olympic sprinter, Hawke transitioned from competing at the highest level into coaching, where he became recognized for his work with some of the fastest swimmers in history. Early in his coaching career, he worked with Cesar Cielo, helping guide him to Olympic gold in the 50m freestyle at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Across his career, Hawke has coached Olympic medalists, world champions, NCAA champions, and world-record holders.

From 2009 to 2018, Hawke served as Head Swimming Coach at Auburn University, leading one of the most established NCAA Division I swimming programs in the United States. He was responsible for the complete high-performance operation, including athlete recruitment, staff leadership and development, budgets, program culture, and competitive strategy.

His career later expanded beyond traditional coaching into business and executive leadership. As Vice President of Fitter & Faster Swim Clinics, Hawke helped lead national expansion, business operations, strategic partnerships, and organizational growth. He later served as Head of Acquisition & Account Management at AnyQuestion, leading customer acquisition, enterprise relationships, strategic partnerships, and growth initiatives.

In 2023, Hawke founded Sprint Revolution, an international high-performance consulting and education company built around his philosophy of “Build Speed Through Speed.” Through Sprint Revolution, he works with athletes, coaches, clubs, and organizations on performance strategy, program design, coach development, and the science and application of speed.

At the center of Hawke’s approach is what he calls Precision Coaching — understanding the individual rather than forcing every athlete into the same system. His methodology combines performance science, objective measurement, coaching instinct, and more than two decades of experience working with elite performers. He focuses on identifying the variables that actually determine performance and building training around the athlete’s individual strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities.

In 2025, Hawke became Head Swimming Coach of the Enhanced Games Performance Team, taking responsibility for building the world’s first professional swimming performance program. His role encompasses athlete recruitment, roster construction, training architecture, performance strategy, competition planning, and leadership of a multidisciplinary team spanning coaching, sports science, medical, and athlete support.

That program produced one of the defining achievements of his career when Kristian Gkolomeev swam 20.81 in the 50m freestyle — the fastest performance ever recorded in the event.

Beyond coaching, Hawke is the host of Inside with Brett Hawke, where his conversations with elite athletes, coaches, and leaders explore the mindset, preparation, pressure, and decision-making behind world-class performance.

Today, Hawke’s work sits at the intersection of elite sport, performance science, leadership, and business. Whether working with an Olympic athlete, developing a coach, building a professional performance team, or speaking to executives, his philosophy remains consistent:

Understand the individual. Build the right environment. Establish a clear standard. Measure what matters. And create the confidence to perform when it matters most.
