My fitness career started when i was 6, when i decided to take up football (soccer) and i continue to play now for Coolum FC 1st Division (top grade).
Fitness has been apart of everything in my life so far, taking part in many sports and hobbies over the years, from school sprinting champion to going surfing and skateboarding in my spare time. I also was a nipper as a junior in my local surf life saving club.
During school i excelled at sports days participating in as many events as possible, but finding my calling in my younger years as a sprinter. From year 4 to year 12 i won 100m and 200m sprint events, and at the age of 15 went on to representative trials.
My love for football was too strong, and by utilising my training as a sprinter, i put all my energy into my passion for football. In 2004, I finally achieved my highest point in playing for Coolum 1st Division with our team winning the 2004 Grand Final, which was the Coolum's 1st team's first grand final win in 31 years. I have continued on from that by making my mark as captain on the 2008 team and hopefully leading our team to another successful season.
My desire to help others in fitness came when I started coaching football a few years back with womens teams, and have loved every moment of it, as seeing people realise their potential is the most rewarding gift of all. Whether it be teaching skills to ladies who've never played, or giving off field advice in health and fitness, when it comes to working together on a problem, there's doubt i'm keen to help find the best solution for each person to achieve greatness.
I took my love for fitness further by attending the Master Trainer
course at the Australian Institute of Fitness, and learnt some
amazing new things. With my love of the outdoors, and seeing the Sunshine Coast has so many wonderful locations, learning to instruct clients on equipment was some valuable education, but nothing compared to knowing how to utilise the outdoors for achieving the same results
Now I use my skills to assist others feel great, achieve the most out of their lives, realise greatness
and start living a well balanced lifestyle.
