11 Years enjoying Triathlons of all distances including 4 Long distance events.  Still learning, still trying new things. 

​

With a background as a competitive long distance swimmer I learned a lot about training and heard 'no pain, no gain' a lot.  These days I challenge this constantly for myself and the athletes I work with I'm happy to say - hence the 'No Challenge, No Change'.

​

Coaching has and will always be about the people and assisting in any way I can with those I work with.

Trying to challenge them, to steer progress, encourage changes and to stick with routines is rewarding in itself and when people find a balance and have achieved their goals seeing them enjoy the sport again is a massive win for me.

Athletes aren't just Triathletes but brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters - they can train and race like Athletes but the rest can't be forgotten.  I've been lucky to work with the following groups of people:

​​

• Beginner Swimmers and Triathletes

• National Series Athletes - of all abilities

• Middle and Long Distance Athletes

• Open Water Sea Swimmers / 5km & 10km Swimmers

​

Almost 20 years in performance analytics in IT help me understand patterns and progress better than most but there's always something to learn for us all.
