Meet the Coach
I completed my first triathlon in 1985. Unlike today, where sports drinks and t-shirts are the usual freebies, competitors were given a bottle of wine on crossing the line. Happy days! The sport has since seen immense changes, but I’m as enthusiastic today as I was then.
I started coaching in the mid-90’s, joining a small band of qualified triathlon coaches working in the UK. Over the years I’ve worked hard to develop as a coach; I know that a good coach never stops learning. I’ve been rewarded by seeing something that started as a hobby evolve into a profession.
I coach athletes of all abilities from complete novice to a world champion.
I’m currently working with the British Triathlon Federation (BTF) in training and assessing triathlon coaches across the UK. I also work as a university lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science.
I have the knowledge and experience to help you plan and organise your training. Together we’ll set achievable training goals and ensure you get value and enjoyment from every workout.
I know how it feels to compete; I race all triathlon distances including Ironman. Regular GB Qualifier.
