Squad Coaching
Focused small-group race walking sessions, where limited numbers mean every athlete gets the attention they deserve. Squads are arranged by skill and fitness level to ensure sessions are tailored to each individual athlete. This creates measurable substantive progress. Whether you’re building your foundation or refining advanced form, these sessions are designed to help you move forward with confidence, speed and precision and set you up for the path to elite competition.
1:1 Private Sessions
Available by request for both squad members and non-squad athletes, these tailored sessions can focus on improving your technique, speed, endurance or individual goals. With dedicated one-on-one attention, you’ll receive personalised feedback and expert guidance to refine your form, build confidence, and take your race walking to the next level.
Distance/Online Coaching
Ideal for regional athletes or those who prefer to train independently, this remote coaching option provides personalised support wherever you are. Coaching is delivered via video analysis and feedback, along with custom race walking and strength and conditioning plans tailored to your fitness level and goals. Programs are progressive to help you reach your individual goals or prepare you for upcoming competitions with confidence and structure. Programs are written on a monthly basis.
Training Plans
Tailored for self-driven athletes with solid technique, these custom race walk training plans are designed to match your goals—whether you’re building fitness or preparing to peak at the right time for an upcoming competition. Each plan is personalised, progressive, and structured to keep you focused, motivated, and moving forward. Plans can detail: warm up, drills, strength, intensity (RPE) levels, warm down, stretching and recovery and even nutrition basics if needed. Programs are written on a monthly basis.
Novice Coach & Parent Mentoring
Designed to support emerging or untrained coaches & parents. Mentoring covers all the race walk essentials: identifying and correcting technique flaws, choosing effective drills, planning sessions with short and long-term progression, athlete nutrition, basic strength and conditioning and understanding race opportunities. With a mentor available whenever questions arise, you’ll grow in confidence and capability. Mentoring is available via phone or in person at a time convenient for you. Bookings by appointment.
Club Coaching Clinics
I provide specialist race walking coaching clinics for athletics clubs, travelling directly to your club to deliver practical, athlete-focused sessions. Whether your club is introducing athletes to race walking, developing experienced walkers, or looking to add race walking to your club’s coaching program, I can help athletes develop the skills and technique needed to improve and compete with confidence. They will learn drills and exercises to improve technique, coordination and efficiency, the rules of race walking and an understanding of judging. These sessions can also support club coaches with race walking knowledge, training ideas, and give club officials knowledge on how to judge at a club level.

Training is held in various locations including the mondo track at Blacktown International Sportspark, Charlie Bali Reserve Doonside, Grantham Reserve Seven Hills.
