As an athlete and a coach with over 12 years experience in the sport, I have tried and tested numerous training methodologies at the same time as developing my own unique style. I understand that no two athletes will ever get the same results by following the same program. Therefore, I believe that three things are essential in coaching athletes: an individualized approach to maximize athlete’s ability, consistency and the right mental attitude. I believe that consistent work, rather than hard work is what reaps the most dividends, and that having the right mental attitude is by far the most important, and it may be the most overlooked aspect of superior performance. As an athlete, I understand the need to challenge myself and to be challenged by other athletes during a competition. As a coach, I strive to continue to educate myself and to work alongside other top coaches in the industry in order to gain and share knowledge to further develop as a coach and an athlete. With a sport that is continually developing, this is a vital element in order to keep up to speed with new and improved training techniques.
