EDUCATION: 1st class degree in Sport and Exercise Science // Ph.D in Exercise Physiology. Particularly interested in the mechanisms of fatigue, and mathematical modelling of performance.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY: Despite an extensive scientific background, I am a strong believer that training should be simple and focused on the individual and performance goals. The basics need to be correct first: Training, Nutrition, Recovery, before looking for marginal gains. Finally, this is a human sport, and so understanding the athlete and fitting with their needs is paramount to success.
