With a PhD in Exercise Physiology, significant personal experience of competing at an elite level in sport, and experience of working in sport, I've got a rounded and well-informed approach to coaching.

At Proven Performance Coaching our approach is to understand the goals and constraints of the athlete, and work with the athlete to realise their goals. Of upmost importance is that the process is enjoyable and fulfilling, built on understanding and trust. We flex the approach, recognising that life is busy and presents many constraints. We aim to get the best out of the athlete within the constraints, while having fun along the way.

We have significant knowledge of the evidence base underpinning training theory, allowing us to explain and adapt the training according the the athletes response and adaptations, and their preferences. Responses to training are highly individual and we are experts in this area.

We also have expertise in the competition environment, ranging from the tapering required, the pre-race requirements, and the during competition considerations.

We are experts in recovery and optimising regeneration from racing and training, and the approach needed to avoid overtraining and the serious potential outcomes associated with too much training.
