Amantle Montsho was born on the 4th of July 1983 in Ngamiland, Maun, Botswana to Victor Nkape and Janet Montsho. 

Her parents separated when she was only two years old and she was raised by her father with regular visits to her mother. She has a total of 10 half-siblings from both her parents’ sides.

Amantle Montsho started sprinting when she was young and unlike her siblings, she enjoyed running back and forth repeatedly over short distances. Her family noticed how fast she was from when she was little and some compared her racing to that of a grown man or a boy.

She attended Bonatla Primary School in Maun where her talent was nurtured and she continued running through high school.

Due to the lack of good coaches and training facilities in Botswana, Amantle Motsho moved to Dakar, Senegal where her talent caught the attention of coach Anthony Koffi who was on a recruitment tour on behalf of IAAF and he started training her.
