Sean Baldock (born 3 December 1976) is a British former sprinter who competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and in the 2004 Summer Olympics. He was born in Hastings, East Sussex.[1] Upon retirement, he became a sports teacher at Claremont School, East Sussex, a lecturer on sports injury at Sussex Coast College and a retained firefighter.[2] More recently, he was a sports coach at Buckswood School East Sussex.[3]
He only became a serious athlete in 1996 having joined Hastings Athletic Club as an under-11 athlete in 1987.[4] Prior to that he had played football, eventually playing for Hastings Town. When he reached 18, because he was always getting injured, he was forced to make a choice between football and athletics.[5]
