To see how an athlete can become the best in his or her discipline with the right combination of perseverance, dedication and focus along with proper guidance and coaching.

Speaker Biography

Olympic Performance Coach & Bestselling Author Turning Inspiration Into Behavior Change

Dominick Gauthier is a performance strategist, former Olympic-level freestyle skier, and coach who guided Jennifer Heil and Alexandre Bilodeau to Olympic gold medals. He is co-founder of the B2ten Foundation, author of Living Excellence and Dare to Excellence, and an Olympic broadcast analyst, and speaker with compelling keynotes on performance, leadership, and behavior change.

Dominick Gauthier has spent three decades at the summit of human performance — competing as a professional freestyle skier for Canada, coaching two Olympic gold medalists, and co-founding a foundation that helped fuel 60+ Olympic medals. Today he translates those hard-won lessons into a practical framework that helps leaders and teams build the daily behaviors that make excellence sustainable.

Short Bio

Dominick Gauthier’s three-decade career spans elite sport, coaching, philanthropy, and media — all built on one central discovery: excellence is not motivation, it’s behavior. As coach to Olympic gold medalists Jennifer Heil and Alexandre Bilodeau and co-founder of the B2ten Foundation, which has raised over $35 million to support Canada’s best athletes, Dominick has seen firsthand what separates consistent performers from the rest. Corporate audiences gain a practical, evidence-based framework for building the specific daily behaviors that drive sustained performance under pressure. His keynotes bridge the energy of elite sport with the substance organizations need the morning after.

Why Organizations Choose Dominick Gauthier

Leaders navigating disruption, pressure, and change choose Dominick Gauthier because he doesn’t offer a motivational moment — he offers a method. Organizations bring him in when they need teams to move past inspiration into consistent, repeatable action: leadership groups preparing for a difficult stretch, teams rebuilding culture after disruption, and high-performance groups looking to close the gap between talent and results.

What sets Dominick apart is the breadth of proof behind the message. He has coached Olympic champions, co-founded a foundation that helped fund 60+ Olympic medals across 15+ sports, and become one of Canada’s most trusted Olympic broadcast voices — all before ever stepping onto a corporate stage. That lived experience gives his frameworks a credibility that a purely academic or purely motivational speaker cannot match.

Audiences leave Dominick Gauthier’s keynotes with concrete behaviors they can apply the next morning, not just energy that fades by Monday. His talks work equally well as a conference keynote or as the anchor for a deeper leadership or team-culture session.

Dominick Gauthier’s Biography

From Olympic Slopes to Coaching Champions

Dominick Gauthier’s study of excellence began on the slopes. He competed as a professional freestyle skier, representing Canada at the elite international level, and it was there — in a sport where fractions of a second separate a podium finish from an early exit — that he first began to understand what excellence actually requires.

That understanding became a coaching career. Dominick Gauthier coached Jennifer Heil and Alexandre Bilodeau to Olympic gold medals, two of Canada’s most celebrated athletic achievements. Working that closely with champions taught him something that would define the next chapter of his career: the principles behind consistent, elite performance are not sport-specific.

Building a $35-Million Legacy in Canadian Sport

Dominick Gauthier co-founded the B2ten Foundation, which has raised over $35 million to support Canada’s best athletes and contributed to more than 60 Olympic medals across 15-plus sports — making it one of the most impactful athlete support programs in the world. The work gave him a rare, systems-level view of what sustainable high performance requires, not just from individual athletes but from the teams and structures around them.

That perspective carried him into media, where he became one of Canada’s most trusted Olympic analysts, most recently co-hosting Radio-Canada’s coverage of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics alongside France Beaudoin. Between the foundation and the broadcast booth, Dominick Gauthier has built a national platform grounded in direct, hands-on experience with the athletes he covers.

From Athlete’s Insight to Organizational Framework

Dominick Gauthier distilled three decades of working at the summit of human performance into two books, Living Excellence and Dare to Excellence — practical guides for leaders, teams, and anyone committed to performing at their best. The books mirror the same shift he brings to the stage: excellence isn’t a mindset to adopt, it’s a set of behaviors to practice.

Today, Dominick Gauthier works with leading organizations across Canada and internationally, including Desjardins, Beneva, Manulife, Hydro-Québec, and CAA, helping leaders and teams translate inspiration into lasting behavior change. His central message is direct: talent and inspiration matter, but what truly separates consistent performers is the specific behaviors they choose to practice every single day.
