Who we are

We’re athletes and coaches who believe in the power of sport to shape who we are and who we can become.

Between us, we've raced professionally, coached national teams, worked through injuries, battled self-doubt, and chased big goals on and off the field. We know what it’s like to feel stuck, to wonder if you're doing enough, and to crave the clarity and confidence to perform your best when it counts.

Through our work, we combine our lived experience with training in psychology, coaching, and sport science to support the people we work with—because we know how transformative it can be to have someone in your corner.

More than anything, we're passionate about helping you unlock your potential. Whether you're here for mental performance coaching or run coaching, we're here to help you show up fully, pursue what matters, and enjoy the process along the way.
