Sports performance & youth development

Young athletes arrive with different levels of experience, confidence and physical development. I take these into account when planning their training, with an approach suited to their age and abilities.

The focus is on developing the foundations relevant to their sport and helping them understand their training. If you are a parent or guardian, tell me about your child’s age, sport, current activity and what they would like help with. We can then discuss an appropriate starting point.

Working hard is most useful when the training is relevant to your goal. I consider the demands of your sport and your existing training when planning strength and conditioning, so the programme has a clear purpose.

That may involve developing strength, speed or physical capacity for your sport. We use your starting point and progress to guide decisions as you train, whether you are building experience or already competing.

Athletics sessions can include sprint technique, running mechanics, speed development, long jump, shot put and javelin. Tell me about your event, experience and existing training so we can discuss the coaching that is relevant to you.

Track-and-field coaching is available for young athletes, competitive athletes and adults who want to develop their running or event performance. Current session options and rates are listed on the pricing page.

The demands of a sport matter. A programme for sprint speed will differ from one built around endurance, and the needs of a young athlete will differ from those of an experienced adult competitor.

I use your goals, current training and progress to guide the work we do. Developing sound technique and an appropriate training progression helps give each session a clear purpose, rather than judging its value only by how exhausting it feels.

I have been involved in sport since the age of five and competed at national level in decathlon in Greece. Athletics remains an important part of my coaching, alongside my broader strength and conditioning work.

My MSc in Strength & Conditioning and CSCS qualification support that practical background. If you are interested in track-and-field coaching, tell me about your event and your current training. You can find the current athletics-session rate on the pricing page.

Share your sport, training background, current schedule and main goal. For a young athlete, please make the enquiry as their parent or guardian. This gives us a useful starting point for discussing how coaching could fit.

If you are outside the local area, online coaching may be an option where independent training and remote feedback suit your needs. You can also explore existing client results to see examples of the commitment and progress involved in working with me.
