Coach
Joe
Background
Joe was never the sporty kid at school, he always came last at sports day.
Fast forward to now and this is certainly no longer the case.
Joe has taken part in endurance sporting events for over a decade.
He started out running marathons as soon as he could at the age of 18 and has since moved on to Ironman triahtlons and 24 hour endurance mountain biking events.
He has competed in over 50 endurance events and is always searching for the next challenge. To say he is addicted would be an understatement.
For Joe triathlon is more than just sport, it is his passion and community.
He believes that this sport was the catalyst for improving his physical and mental wellbeing.
Which is why he believes that anyone can reach their goals, no matter how challenging.
Coaching Philosophy
Joe's coaching philosophy is focused on supporting athletes to find enjoyment in the training process without sacrifcing other aspects of their life.
He believes that athletes are most likely to achieve their goals if they enjoy the training process.
This approach allows them to push beyond what they previoulsy thought possible and can improve both their physical and mental wellbeing.
Joe has been coaching for several years and coached athletes from complete beginners to age-group podiums.
