CHANGE IS THE POINT

I have always asked a lot of questions and sought to understand. Somewhat dissatisfied with many of the responses – either due to my own capacities of comprehension or a personal bias – I have been compelled to explore deeper sustained by curiosity and a desire to be better.

The notion of being “better” captured me as a shy teenager. I read countless self-help books and listened to hours of podcasts. I conversed sporadically with total strangers and honed my communication skills. I took long walks alone to introspect and more honestly understand myself. Structured training in gyms followed.

CrossFit has had the largest influence on my training done in gyms, although I have dabbled in other modalities including gymnastics, movement or mobility training, bodybuilding and weightlifting. Prior to, I had competed in variety of different sports: swimming, tennis and football, never particularly excelling in one but generally competent across each.

I have coached in some capacity since the age of 16 working with kids as young as 4 in learn to swim, and seniors 65+ in strength and conditioning gyms. I have been mentored by and observed world class coaches in Australia and overseas. And completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Education in between. These experiences have shaped my teaching style; one that facilitates curiosity, self-awareness and autonomy.

The consistent thread has been a desire to learn; about myself and how to change, and that by doing so, I hope to demonstrate to others how to do the same.
