Axel Brown, an Olympic bobsled pilot, began his diverse athletic career playing American football for the Colorado State Rams from 2013 to 2014 and competing for the Great Britain Lions u18 team. He also secured national bronze and silver medals in Taekwondo. Brown then joined Great Britain’s bobsleigh program in 2014, competing as a brakeman for seven years across the World Cup, North American Cup, and Europe Cup circuits. His commitment to the sport was further recognized when he served as a reserve for the 2019 World Championships in Whistler, Canada.

Brown continued to build on his Olympic success throughout 2022 and 2023.

The same year, the 2-man team of Brown and Andre Marcano achieved the Caribbean’s highest-ever World Cup 2-man position, placing 13th in the IBSF World Cup in Park City, Utah, on November 23, 2022. He further demonstrated his elite skill at the 2023 World Championships in St.

Moritz, Switzerland, securing a formidable 20th-place finish in the 2-man event. Beyond his distinguished athletic career, Axel Brown is also a sought-after motivational speaker, drawing on his unique journey representing Trinidad and Tobago at the Winter Olympics and achieving numerous national sporting milestones. He leverages his experiences in elite sports, from American football and Taekwondo to bobsleigh, to deliver powerful messages on resilience, goal-setting, and high performance to diverse audiences.
