COACHING PHILOSOPHY:
Coaching is an everchanging mixture of black art and exercise science. As a professional coach my programs are tailored based on long-term goals, ability level and development progression focusing on the basic premise of stress and recovery. While High Performance Coaching is my passion I’m a firm believer that quality coaching should be available to anyone wanting to improve performance, be active, and make the most out of their available time. Health and fitness should be a life long goal and I encourage athletes to look beyond short-term workouts to achieve long-term life style changes and training objectives. As a coach I believe there are core components that are critical to the success of every athlete in endurance sports, these include: Solid aerobic foundation Cycled Strength, Speed & Power phases Individualized taper periods Core strength and stability Stretching for maximizing performance Injury prevention, and Efficiency of movement My approach to coaching has developed through studying Exercise Physiology both in Australia and America, working closely as a mentored and assistant coach with Grant Giles for over 2 years, and combined with twelve years spent training to become a professional ballet dancer After serious injury forced me out of a ballet career I moved into triathlon looking for a new challenge and my experience has taught me that success in endurance sports doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to develop the athlete within through perseverance and persistence where achieving your goals comes from a balance of both mental and physical training and development.
