I am a performance coach with over a decade of experience helping athletes achieve their goals, from beginners to elite performers. My coaching blends deep scientific knowledge with practical, real-world experience to create personalised, effective training programmes that deliver results.

I competed internationally with the Irish Sailing Team in the Finn class for over five years on the ISAF World Cup circuit, campaigning for both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics. During that time, I completed a Master’s in Exercise Physiology at Trinity College Dublin (Distinction) and began a journey into the science of human performance. A path that continues to this day through my PhD research at Swansea University, where I focus on glycaemic management and its impact on performance in collaboration with professional teams and athletes.

Over the years, I’ve coached across a wide range of sports and successfully transitioned from a power-based athlete to an endurance-focused one. This personal transformation, combined with formal training and applied experience, allows me to build smart, tailored strategies that help each athlete progress with purpose, whether they’re racing for the podium or striving for a personal best.

My coaching philosophy centres around the individual. I focus on building plans that fit into your life, not around it, considering your availability, training history, and goals to make progress sustainable. I believe in the process, in open communication, and in using every tool available, from performance testing to training analytics, to help you succeed.
