In his own words

“My training philosophy is to encourage and educate people on finding the right balance between great health and vitality whilst ensuring results in no time!

My top priority is keeping my athletes healthy. Some athletes overlook this, but during training, your top priority should be to get yourself to the starting line healthy. Unfortunately, this does not happen for many athletes due to injury. I will work with you to ensure that we are correcting any functional weaknesses you may have and doing everything we can to either improve or keep you healthy. Whether it’s developing the right strength training program, which is something all of my athletes have incorporated into their training, making some general health improvements or nutritional adjustments, I will be there for you and always trying to help you improve your overall health, which will lead to improving as an athlete.

I also believe that there is more to life than triathlon. Sure, triathlons may be a big part of your life, but for long-term success, it is vital that the proper balance between family, work, and other things you have going on in your life. I thrive on getting to know you and ensuring that all aspects of your life are considered when developing your training. Though some clients aspire to be professionals, most of us do this for fun and to be healthy. We make sure we do not forget about this along the way.
