About Me

I am a former International Long Jumper for England and the current Jumps and Multi Events Coach for The University of California, Berkeley. I am also 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 however, lies in the sport of Track and Field and specifically working with jumpers and sprinters. I have been extremely lucky to have mentored under several of the worlds leading coaches. I owe a special thanks to Dan Pfaff for always being there whenever I need advice. It is my hope that through writing, coaching, and speaking I can help others become the best coaches and athletes they can be. This website gives me a platform to discuss a host of topics including, training design,  philosophies of the jumps and sprints, and coaching strategies, as well as spirituality, and sport psychology. I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my thoughts with you all.
