I am the Founder of Koa Sports.  A  FULL TIME Endurance Coach, living and breathing the world of endurance sports, coaching development and athlete success.

My athletes can feel the passion and care. The effort and thought that goes into each session. No workout libraries or drag and drop.
Proper coaching day > day, week > week, month > month.

Married with 2 kids and chipping away with success as an AG'er, travelling with work, balancing the "un-balanceable".

I care deeply about my athletes, the investment they make, the sacrifices required to make it all happen, it's not easy!

Having a coach (human) in your corner for the good and the bad, makes the triumphs all the more special.

I've graduated from university, come through Triathlon Australia, Swimming Australia and Athletics Australia coaching pathways, but working full time for many years is the greatest teacher of all.

Working with adults, be it first timers or experienced campaigners, every athlete brings new sets of challenges to the table. Ultimately, if you give it all you've got, I'll get the most out of you.
​
Endurance athletes do it the hard way, all with a story, as do I. It's the stories that makes the finish lines so special.
