About Me

I am a former International Long Jumper for England and am the current Jumps and Multi Events coach for The University of Southern California (USC). Prior to USC I was the Jumps and Multi Events Coach for The University of California, Berkeley (2016-2019).

I am the author of The Horizontal Jumps: Planning For Long Term Development (2012). Throughout my coaching career I have developed athletes in a wide array of sports, and of all levels and ages. My true passion lies in the sport of Track and Field and specifically working with jumpers and Multi Event athletes.

My new book The Jumps: A Comprehensive Training System is in the works and is promising to be a great resource for all coaches.
