Why I coach:
Fitness:
Since I was 6 years old and discovered sport, I have been an avid sports fan in every way. Growing up within a family who competed nationally in athletics and nationally in Tai Kwan do, the passion for sport and my energy for life became natural.
I am by nature, a runner having now completed 4 marathons, half marathons as well as numerous 10 kms and 5kms and other competitions. I am currently in training for the Nottingham Marathon and London Marathon. I additionally have been a Watford Harriers Club member (where I trained with Kelly Holmes), athletic champion on the track for many years and captained many athletic teams. I regularly take part in Thai boxing and have training in Aikido and Tae Kwon Do.
I have coached many clients over this time in such specific goals as weight loss, general fitness training, competition specific training, marathon training and recovery (psychologically and physically) from sports related injuries but am always adding other skills to my repertiore.
My goal is your success. |
