Empowering Athletes
My goal as a coach is to help athletes find their purpose in sport.
I want to help athletes from all backgrounds and abilities figure out where they want to go and how to get there. I have a holistic approach to coaching and draw upon performance optimization research, sports psychology, process-based thinking and analytics. For me, training with coherence means letting go of the uncontrollable aspects of sport and focusing on adaptability, curiosity, and individual success.
About My Career
As an elite athlete, I focused on cycling and raced with Team Canada from 2019-2023. My sports background also includes skateboarding from a very young age and through my teen years.
Some of my awards and accomplishments include:
· Bronze Medalist, Team Pursuit: Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup - Milton 2020
· National Champion, Team Pursuit, Canadian Track Cycling Championships 2022
