Meet Ollie

I love working with athletes who want to push themselves to new limits—whether that’s completing their first race or stepping up to a level they didn’t think possible. I also particularly enjoy working with busy athletes who want to maximise their potential and push their limits alongside demanding careers and lifestyles.

My coaching ethos is built around helping you understand why you’re doing each session, not just completing it. By bringing you into the process, I aim to build confidence, consistency and long-term progression.

I take a hybrid approach, blending the wealth of data we have available along with feel and intuition, making sure I’m adapting to your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model whilst ensuring the process is enjoyable throughout.

As a long term coached athlete myself I’ve experienced first-hand the value of truly bespoke coaching and the difference it can make when training is tailored to the individual. From a personal perspective, the discipline and accountability of having a coach has taken me to unforeseen heights.

Making the most of the time you have is something I place a big emphasis on with the athletes I work with. Early mornings, long workdays and packed social schedules are part of our busy lives so consistency definitely doesn’t come from having a clear diary and perfect conditions, it comes from making training work in the real world.

From hard threshold swim sessions to long runs through the forest and full days out on the bike, I genuinely enjoy every aspect of participating in the sport and hopefullybring that same energy and enthusiasm into my coaching.

Ultimately, as with most things, I believe you get out what you put in but with the right structure, support and consistency, athletes are capable of far more than they often realise.
