Hi I'm Sam, an award winning triathlon coach who has worked with hundreds of athletes to help them achieve their dreams! I love to educate, inspire and empower people and I'm on a mission to help athletes and coaches live their best lives!

 

My journey as a triathlete took me all over the world, racing in sprint distances right up to Half Ironman distances and along the way I was crowned British and European Triathlon Champion at Age Group Level. I also went on to win further European medals and raced in the Elite British Super Series.

​

I took a break from the sport in 2015 to have my son and put on 5 stone in the pregnancy so making a comeback was tough; but not impossible. With a bit of hard work I topped the podium of my first triathlon back.

​

I am so passionate about helping others and have accumulated thousands of coaching hours working with, and learning from, a wide and diverse group of athletes, mentors and coaches.

I have spent the last decade working with athletes who want to take on their first triathlon, to World medallists at Age Group level. I also work with single discipline athletes as, let's face it, 'just' running or 'just' swimming is more than enough!  I’ve worked with schools to introduce the sport to youngsters and coached children since 2007 helping them to grow in confidence and develop a love for the sport. I thoroughly enjoy working with groups and individuals to help them to reach their potential – as a coach there’s no better feeling!

​

My services now focus on working with more individuals on a 1-2-1 level so I can really get the most out of you! If you're a coach or an athlete looking for your next breakthrough performance, drop me a message to see how I can help!
