Meet Emma

I don’t come from a sporting background, I rode horses as a child and teenager competing up to county level which I loved but that was about the extent of my world in sport.

I first got into triathlon as a challenge from my daughters and I’ve never looked back. At the time my bike had a basket on the front and 3 gears, I couldn’t swim and I’d done one 5K run for charity. Fast forward 9 months and I found myself stood on the start line of my first sprint triathlon and what a high I was on going over that finish line, that was it I was hooked. I then entered IMUK but I knew I needed help, I had no idea how to train for an IM so I joined TTT and this was the best decision I’ve made. My coach understood that I was a busy working mum and I couldn’t commit to 20+ hours a week training but I wanted to get on the podium so we trained smarter leading to better results and more and more podiums. I have been working with others and coaching with my local club for a number of years now and I was delighted when TTT asked me to join the team as I have found so much satisfaction from helping athletes of all abilities get more out of themselves, watching them improve and fulfilling their potential.

I am also a firm believer in success being about a team effort and the value of having like minded people all around you is instrumental to achieving this. To to this end when you come on board with TTT you don’t just get me as your coach but an incredibly supportive and encouraging community group that is the source of so much advice and motivation. What I can tell you is “you have no idea what you are capable of”
