‘One-to-one coaching for athletes, maximising performance, results and athletic potential’
• England Athletics Run Coach • British Cycling Level 3 Coach • Sports Masseuse • BSc Sports and Exercise Science • Ex-Elite and Multiple National Champion
I have coached many people over 25 years including HYROX World Champions, national level cyclists, regional runners, Triathletes and Duathletes, some just starting in the senior ranks at 18 years old to those relacing their run shoes again at 67.Having trained and competed whilst working full time and bringing up a young family I understand how other priorities may come into play. I am in constant contact with my clients, ensuring that their plan is amended around life’s hurdles.
What type of coach am I?
I am a client centred coach and take pride in the athlete-coach relationship. Developing that relationship is the key to a successful coaching experience.
My Priority A is maintaining athlete health, keeping you illness and injury free. Being healthy allows you to train, recover and perform optimally.
The athlete-coach relationship is a 2-way partnership and requires both to engage with the process to ensure its success. Regular communication, feedback and self-reflection ensures i understand you. The better I know you, the better a coach I can be.
Skin a Cat Your Way
Generic programmes? Not here! There are many ways to get fitter and faster. My job as a coach is to find the best way for you. I aim to make your plan challenging, results driven, achievable and hopefully fun.
Honesty and Realistic Goals
I am a positive coach and will be able to develop you given time and dedication. I am honest in my feedback and say what is realistically achievable.
Progression can come in many forms including physical fitness, tactical awareness, and technical skills acquisition. I am dedicated in guiding you to be the best athlete possible.
I love running, cycling and fitness in general, thriving on my own personal progression. I take pride in developing my own professional knowledge and qualifications.
Walk the Walk
I love fitness and exercise in general. I’ve competed in most sports including Cycling, Running, Duathlon and Football. I’m still competing in bike racing, HYROX and running now at 48. I know how training and competing feels, both good and bad, so as an athlete I will have a good idea of how you are feeling.
The Bigger Picture and Inspiration
I aim to not only motivate and educate, but to inspire you too. I hope to develop your passion for your sport even further.
Hopefully it will make you inspire others too.
