My athletic experience comes from Orienteering where I competed for the GB team. Training for this included athletics, fell running, road running and cycling. More recently I have represented GB in World and European standard distance championships. Braking news I have completed the Wim Hof Method level 1 instructors qualification. I trained as a Physical Education teacher and went on to lead a faculty in a large high school, later lecturing Post Graduates at Leeds University. Following this I set up several successful businesses including owning 2 restaurants and a theatre. Currently I have a second business producing webinars and training programmes for speakers and organisations. This includes business coaching and public speaking.
I have 2 triathlon swim squads and also coach junior and senior triathlete runners. The summer months find me balancing on a paddle board coaching Open Water Swimming.
My coaching philosophy centers around ensuring my triathlete achieve a balanced, health lifestyle. As a former teacher and practicing entrepreneur I know the pressures we have on our time and energy. Everything in balance.is a fine maxim for our training endeavors..
As an expert in live online training it won't be surprising that I use this to enhance my coaching practice this enables us to communicate effectively wherever people are in the world.
I also hold a paragliding pilots licence and have flown across the north face of the Eiger.
