Meet the wizards

“I’ve always played some form of sport, with football and squash being my main focus. I only really started running in my mid-thirties but quickly became aware that distance running didn’t always complement these other sports. Too many pulled hamstrings unfortunately! Sport in my 40’s became squash, golf and distance running, until I discovered triathlon having watched the Ironman at Sherborne.

Becoming a member of a local triathlon club facilitated access to BTF qualified coaches and with the knowledge and experience of other club members, it enabled me to successfully complete my own personal challenges. This in itself initiated my desire to want to be more involved in triathlon sport. 

My coaching journey started in 2015, primarily focussing on indoor swim sessions alongside being the active lead for a small social Saturday morning bike ride group. I’ve recently completed the British Triathlon Level 2 Diploma which allows me to provide more 1-2-1 coaching within the club environment.

As a coach, I enjoy seeing all athletes realise their aspirations and dreams, but particularly athletes new to the sport, who are keen, enthusiastic and wanting to challenge themselves.”
