What Clients Say

I first met Steve by chance at a triathlon training camp in Tenerife where we were roommates. I had heard of Steve through his role as National Endurance Coach. as a triathlete and runner I saw this as an opportunity to pick his brain about all things training/racing and he has been a sounding board for me ever since. Steve is a hard working professional who epitomizes the words consistent and reliable. He has helped my coaching career and has been a great sounding board on ideas from training to racing. I would highly recommend Steve not only as a person but as a great coach and performance consultant.

Steve began coaching me and several other athletes in 2015 and created a culture of excellence within our group, with the high standards he set for us as competitors and himself as a coach. His devotion to his athletes and his endless knowledge on physiology, mental performance, lifestyle balance and periodization mean that Steve is the complete professional. He strikes the perfect balance of peace of mind knowing that you're training hard but also knowing that you are never being pushed over the edge.

Steve and I began working together before my 2nd Olympics in Rio where I finished 6th. I was an athlete that did not respond well to conventional endurance training methods and he was able to tailor a programme to suit my individual profile. Steve could see past the traditional endurance training methods and tailor a unique approach which turner me into a world class athlete. A master at managing training loads in synergy, he built me into a robust and powerful athlete, qualifying for my 3rd Olympic Games in Tokyo and winning multiple medals along the way. I am still in love with training/competing and uninjured 12 years after I started and I credit this to Steve.

People often describe athletes as a "once in a lifetime talent" but what if they all come from the same club? In Ireland, the common denominator was Steve. Some coaches will cut corners to make you fast in a month while others will transform you into a world contender in 4 years. Steve is the later, he has a unique ability to nurture an ordinary athlete into a "once in a lifetime talent" .... over and over again. he started coaching me in 2015 when I was ranked 26th in the world. Under his guidance I reached no 2 in the world rankings, 8th place finish at the Rio Olympics in 2016, became a multiple World medalist and a European Champion.
