About The Owner

Maurice Campbell was born and raised in St. Catherine, Jamaica, beginning his athletic journey at the prestigious St. Jago High School, which has a reputation for producing elite Jamaican athletes like Bertland Cameron and Kerron Stewart. In track and field, Maurice specialized in the 400m, representing both St. Jago and Jamaica on international stages where he earned multiple medals.

In 1998, Maurice migrated to the United States to complete his high school education at Boyd H. Anderson High School in Florida. There, he reached the finals of the Florida High School State Championship and later secured a track scholarship to Southwestern Christian College, pursuing an Associate Degree in Computer Science. Maurice was recognized as an All-American in the 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay, and the 400m events.

After graduation, Maurice returned to Florida in 2003 to chase a professional track and field career under the guidance of legendary sprinter Dennis Mitchell. He also dedicated time as a mentor at Eckerd Youth Alternatives while competing in local and international meets. In 2011, he went back to Jamaica to train with former coach Bert Cameron at Racers Track Club, refining his technical knowledge of the sport with further insights from Glen Mills, O.D., who coached Usain Bolt.

Harnessing his entrepreneurial spirit, Maurice established his first track and field training company, PT One and One, in 2013, with the support of advisors Mr. Conrad Jackson and Mr. Christopher Campbell.

From 2015 to 2020, Maurice coached at Lake Minneola High School. Starting as a volunteer, he was elevated to Assistant Coach and then Program Director, significantly contributing to the development of the school's track and field program. Under his leadership, the Lake Minneola girls' 4x400m team debuted at the distinguished FSU Relays in 2016, setting multiple school records. That same year, one of their athletes received the school's first full track and field scholarship to the University of South Florida. In recognition of these achievements, Maurice was appointed Head Coach in 2020.

In 2022, he fully dedicated his efforts to the Wind Speed Athletics Track Club, which he founded in 2016. Drawing on decades of experience as both an elite athlete and coach, Maurice has created an environment where student-athletes in Lake County and Central Florida can excel in their track and field training—both on and off the track. His coaching approach emphasizes technical skill development, mentorship, and perseverance.

Among his notable athletes are:
