Toni Minichiello

Jessica's Coach

My name is Antonio Minichiello and I have been coaching Athletics since 1994.

I first started coaching Jessica Ennis when she was 13 years old and up to the present time. At the start of my coaching career I coached part-time in the evenings and at weekends.

In Sept 2006 I was fortunate enough to be accepted onto the prestigious UK Sport ‘Elite Coach’ intake of 2006 and take up the full- time position as a Performance Coach with UK Athletics.

UK Sport Elite Coach is a demanding and challenging 5 year partnership with UK Athletics designed to accelerate the development of coaches.

UK Sport delivers tailor-made programmes built around the coaches, allowing them to develop the technical and leaderships skills required for coaching excellence.
