Charles Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin, best known as Pierre de Coubertin (1 January 1863 – 2 September 1937), was a French educator and historian.

Coubertin was convinced of the parallel importance of the development of mind and body, and he saw this ideal in ancient Greek culture. He had the idea to revive the Games of Olympia, and started to promote this notion. He is known as the father of the modern Olympic Games.[1]
