NOT YOUR AVERAGE COACH

He has coached numerous athletes to achieve things they never thought possible. His coaching beliefs and techniques come from years of learning through competing in, coaching and studying endurance athletic pursuits.

Accountibility 

Greg uses the internationally renowned TrainingPeaks platform to program each of his athletes training plans. An individualised program based on individual performance data allowing you to work towards your goals. The days of receiving a spreadsheet with generic session descriptions, by email once a fortnight, are over. TrainingPeaks offers a state of the art desktop and mobile app to interact with your coach on a live basis to track your progress daily towards your goal and includes commenting features so sessions can be adjusted based on how an athlete feels or performs. There's no hiding behind a spreadsheet anymore.

A LIFE of experience

Greg's own experiences (both good and bad) have led him to where he is today. His coaching draws on years of experience in both the professional and sporting worlds to assist with your goal. Through many failures he has learnt the best way to approach long term success in both endurance sport and life as a whole. His belief is that life isn't about a balance of both work and pleasure, but rather that your life should incorporate what makes you 'you' and be a continual motion forward towards a common goal. You're either moving forwards or backwards. You decide which way you want to go.
