Why Coach
Before moving to the UK, during my university years I was a basketball coach. I loved sharing my knowledge in the sport to forge better athletes. When I started my journey with our local triathlon club, I was coached by some inspirational people and exceptional athletes. I enjoyed the process of learning and discovering the science behind the sport.
Helping motivated athletes reaching their goals is very rewarding. With the right type of training and support, anyone can improve and achieve what they thought to be impossible.
My day job as Bio-engineer in a Clinical Movement Analysis Centre helped me to develop an objective system to analyse swimming, cycling, and running biomechanics. Technology is a big part of my job and I like to be up to date on the latest gadgets that can help us train better and more efficiently. I’ve got a particular interest in Running with Power (L2 Run with Power Course)
