In 2009, on a whim, I signed up for a triathlon to challenge and motivate myself to be active. I didn’t even know how to swim, but I knew I needed a change, and a goal to make that change happen. After muddling my way through training, I crossed the finish line of my first race.

Pushing myself physically, doing something scary, changed how I viewed myself, and transformed my perspective on life. It gave me confidence and a drive to excel that I had never experienced before. Today, I coach athletes to reach their performance potential, and through this, to reshape their world.

I believe that sport is both a powerful influence in life, and a powerful metaphor for life. Through training our bodies and minds to accomplish difficult athletic goals, we reap the benefits of improved physical, mental and emotional well being. Training is not just about results on the racecourse (although we like those too!). We incorporate the mental skills, energy and resilience into  our personal and professional worlds, and thus improve our life and the lives of those around us.
