Work with me

Coaching

Empathy, Understanding, Experience
These 3 words are at the core of how I operate as a coach. I have literally gone from dead last to AG winner and everything in between. I did it the hard way and learned a hell of a lot along the way. I have now been in the sport for 7 years and have a wealth of both racing and training experience behind me. I never saw myself as a coach, instead it is something that I fell into. In 2016, while racing, another athlete introduced himself to me. Later that week he asked if I did coaching. I agreed to give it a 'tri' and have been coaching athletes ever since. I work with athletes from beginner to World Champion qualifiers and provide the same level of service, understanding and knowledge to all of them. At the end of the day, I think it is important to acknowledge that I do not know everything about the sport. I learn new things all the time. So I pride myself on working with my athletes collaborating to get the best out of each and every one of them.

I coach through MX Endurance, Chris McCormack's triathlon network. Through MX Endurance I have learned so much from some fo the biggest names in the sport as well as athletes of all levels and abilites.  In addition, I am able to offer my athletes an extensive range of discounts and a MX Endurance membership included in their coaching fee.

What Do I Offer?

  • Plans tailored to your goals, abilities and availability
  • Analysis and feedback on training and races
  • Communication when and how you want it
  • Race strategies and planning
  • Frank and honest feedback about what is going well and what needs improvement
  • Programs delivered through Today's Plan
  • Significant partner discounts through MX Endurance

Completely Personalised

I tailor my training programs individually to each and every athletes needs. There is no cookie cutter method because each athlete has different goals, abilities and motivations.

Learned the Hard Way

I was literally the slowest athlete and have had to work very hard for a very long time to get to the level that I am today. I do not think I make a good coach because I am a fast athlete. I think I am a good coach because I have lived every step of the journey from being unable to run to winning races.

Weight Loss

In addition to triathlon coaching I also offer weight loss coaching where I monitor nutrition and write a basic training program to help people start their own weight loss journey.

Easy to Contact

I am incredibly easy to get in touch with (unless I am training myself) which means I can answer any questions or make any changes to a program that may be required very quickly. 

Not Afraid to Ask Questions

As I have mentioned, I do not know everything and am always trying to learn. I am incredibly lucky to have access to some of the best coaches and athletes in the sport. So if there is something I am unsure of, I am getting the answers from real experts.

Positive Change

Whatever your goals are, whether they are to complete a triathlon, loose some weight or just start running, I have a number of different options and am sure we would be able to work something out that would work for you.

Testimonials

I started training with Tim 18 months ago now as a very beginner triathlete. I was looking for some advice from someone with experience when I discovered Tim and was in awe at his journey, overcoming his own hurdles and adversity, evolving from unfit beginner triathlete to the very fit, healthy and successful athlete he trained hard at to become.

Tim's story resonated with me and through his genuine, approachable nature and willingness to help this beginner, resulted in Tim being the ultimate mentor for me and soon to be coach. Training for a 70.3 seemed so impossible for me at the time but I stuck to the training and before I knew it I was participating in my first 70.3!

​With Tim's supportive and encouraging approach towards my training, I have been able to push past my limits and strive towards goals I once thought impossible. Looking forward to training for and achieving my next big goal!

When I approached Tim for some coaching last year, I kinda knew that he would not go easy on me, and some sessions were quite tough but always doable. Only a few months later, I was able to smash my PBs in all three sports, I ran a half marathon in 1:28 that seemed impossible to me and improved my ironman distance PB by 1 hour!
​
If you really want to achieve something in our beautiful sport, then I can definitely recommend Tim. He is not only a great ambassador for triathlon but he truly lives this lifestyle passionately, inspires athletes around him, and reminds you to TRI. Prepare for hard but very effective training plans, sessions that might hurt initially but will help you to reach the next level.

When i first set myself a goal of doing a triathlon deep down i didnt really think it was possible. I was carrying too much weight and was a terrible swimmer. Tim took me on as a client and my results were terrific.

Not only did i complete my first tri, I lost a heap of weight in the process. The training was specific to both my ability and my race needs and was ever evolving as my skill and training capacity increased.

​One thing that sets Tim apart is his ability to motivate and encourage, to get the best out of you. This is the guy you want in your corner.
