A coastal kid
who kept showing up.
Thirty-odd years around endurance sport, first as an athlete, then, slowly, as the person on the other end of the phone.
Born in Wollongong, raised on a coast defined by escarpment, sandstone and the Tasman. Surfed first, then found a road bike. Turned professional in 1993, raced long course and IRONMAN through Europe and home, and retired in 2004 after a decade on the start line.
I coach athletes, one-on-one, patiently, for as long as it takes, by video, wherever you train. I work with sports coaches in other fields. I write a newsletter, host a podcast and see clients as a clinical hypnotherapist and strategic psychotherapist for the inner-game work that doesn’t quite fit in a training plan.
The short version.
For the record.
Listed here because I’m asked, not because they’re the reason to work with someone.
People I’ve had
the privilege of coaching.
A short list, not a wall. The professional names below are the ones people ask about; the bigger, quieter part of my work has always been with age-group athletes building their own version of great.
