I am a level 3 jumps development and hurdles/sprints coach with many decades of experience. I love these events! There is a big difference between being an athlete and being a coach, and I’ve done both. I come from a heptathlon background, so I understand the demands of competition but also have experience as a coach in managing the skills, training load and event preparation these competitions need.

I have experience coaching multiple squads from intermediate athletes through to state and national medal winners. I also assist with Toowong Athletic Club coaching at a more beginner-intermediate level and in QGSSA, GPS and AIC schools. This keeps me in touch with grassroots development and athletes that are still learning the fundamentals. I do not believe in early specialisation or an elite focus from a junior level. My coaching is focused on all-round development, age-appropriate activities, learning training disciplines, having fun and self-improvement. All these skills can be taken further in track and field, other sports, and in life. I love seeing athletes master skills and gain confidence.
