I've spent 15 years in high performance sport whilst also achieving two degrees. A BSc in Human Biology and an MSc in Human Performance. The combination of these two different facets to my life, sporting and academic, I believe puts me in a rare position to understand the needs and intricacies of sporting performance, whilst also supplying me with the tool-set to critically analyse and identify areas for performance enhancement using scientific methodologies.My sporting career has also developed many important life skills in the pressure cooker that is the high performance sporting environment. Team work, focus, perseverance, self-belief, self-analysis, time management, long-term planning just to name a few. This cements my belief in the power of sport, whatever level it is performed at. I am passionate about getting people involved in sport and enjoying the simple joy of it as well as the additional benefits that come with an active sporting lifestyle.Whilst kayaking has taken up most of my time over the last decade, I still have many other hobbies and interests outside of this. Playing guitar, drums, tinkering with old cars and coffee are my main passions. Whilst I continue with my sporting career I am also interested in further learning and starting to work in roles where I can have impact on performance and participation in sport.
