My coaching journey started while at school and has continued throughout my working life, firstly as a mountain leader and sailing instructor, leading to triathlon and endurance sports from 2010. Combining a career as a sheep farmer, recognised for my work using performance data and genetics to improve profitability in grass-reared sheep production, I decided to reduce the size of the sheep flock to concentrate on coaching endurance athletes and swimmers under the banner InBalance Coaching. The word “InBalance” resonated with me, because if your life is not in balance, you will not fulfil your true potential. A lifetime of coaching, including 10 years as a head coach of a triathlon club, has allowed me to work with people of all ages and abilities, with a diversity of lifestyles. As a regular competitor in endurance events, who has competed in sprint distance triathlon to ironman and 50k mountain runs to 10k swims, I have a thorough knowledge of what is required for an athlete to achieve their dreams.
