Real Success, Real Athletes
I chanced across the sport of Triathlon one day whilst swimming some lengths in the pool. I had an idea that I needed to take up a hobby other than nightclubs and pubs after being a professional DJ for 22 years. As a middle aged ‘rugby-built’ guy I was under no illusion I’d be any good, but I thought I’d give it a try. I did my first Sprint badly, and another even worse, but got the bug and then went to Olympic the following year, and even managed a 70.3 under my own training in 2019… But I had this mad idea that I wanted to do a full distance and was introduced to Coach Damo by a mutual friend, and it changed everything for me… Firstly it proved that what I thought was the right way to train was all wrong, but more importantly the structure he put into my training; the sounding board that is always there; and the advice he gave me made me believe I could achieve what I thought impossible. Now in my 3rd season of training with Damo I’ve done IM Barcelona & Challenge Roth, as well as another 70.3 and some other distances. I value his coaching enormously, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to other athletes… It’s also great to have another person in my life to be accountable to 6 days a week other than my wife!
