childhood jogs along Wainui Beach in Gisborne, to the Goat runs on Mt
Ruapehu. To standing at the foot of the Kumbu glacier about to run the
world’s highest marathon and to the breath-taking bush runs with mates
most weekends. It is this appreciation for what I have experienced and
my ongoing enjoyment in working with people to achieve, that drives
my coaching'.
