A few ways we
might work together.
Twenty-four years of coaching endurance athletes, a Level-3 High Performance certification with Triathlon Australia, and training as a clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. What that all means, practically, is this: I can help you with the body, the mind, and the bit where the two meet. Here is how.
coaching
Individualised
1:1 coaching.
A long partnership. I write your program week by week, season by season, with both pillars built in from day one. Physical progression is the obvious part, but most of the gains you will feel come from the mental work we do alongside it.
I take a small number of athletes so I can actually be present for the ones I have. We talk often. I read your sessions. We adjust to real life, not to the plan on paper.
This suits athletes who are in it for the long run, who care about how they get better, not just whether. First-timers are welcome, and so are people coming back for another year of honest work.
review
A once-off
review session.
You are training yourself, or working with a coach already, and you want an honest second set of eyes. We spend a focused block of time on where you are, where you are heading, and the handful of things that would make the biggest difference right now.
You come away with a clear picture, a small list of adjustments you could make tomorrow, and, if it would help, a written note you can share with your coach.
Good for people who suspect they have hit a ceiling, who are preparing for a big event and want a sanity check, or who just want a conversation with someone who has seen a lot.
for athletes
Psychological
support, visualisation,
hypnotherapy.
This is the work I trained for as a clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, applied to athletes. Race-day nerves, recurring doubt, the feeling of going flat when you need to be present, the quiet injuries that come back every season. It is often the mind asking to be heard.
We work in sessions. Some are structured visualisation and guided hypnotherapy, some are straight conversation, most are a bit of both. You do not need to already work with me as a coach to do this, though many athletes end up blending the two.
This is not medical treatment and it is not a substitute for clinical care. It sits alongside it, quietly.
“He taught me how to race, not just how to train. The mental side he brings in, there is nothing like it.”
“I went under five hours at 70.3 with Grant, but the bit that changed me was everything that was not the finish time.”
“Six weeks of Grant’s prep before my breakthrough race. The training was hard. The mental work was the difference.”
If you are not sure which of the three to pick, just write. Tell me what you are working on, and what feels stuck. I will write back, honestly, and point you to the right starting place, even if that starting place is not with me.
