As a seasoned short course athlete and multiple time championship medallist, Ben fully understands how these races are won and lost and is passionate about supporting others to achieve their short course potential, reach new PBs, qualify for the Age Group team or reach that podium for themselves. Ben has been fortunate enough to train and work alongside some of the country’s best athletes, coaches, and sports professionals and is able to distil all of that into his coaching in an engaging and accessible way.
Philosophy
First and foremost, Ben always looks to build an achievable, enjoyable, and fulfilling training plan that motivates and challenges the athlete. Ben is also a strong believer in involving an athlete in the process of curating their own training plan. Ben welcomes athlete questions and for them to share feedback for the coach much like a coach shares feedback for the athlete. The goal is to encourage an athlete’s sense of ownership and accountability, which will help them maximise their time, energy, and thrive in their sport and achieve their fitness and sporting goals. Central to this is a strong belief in the idea that for any athlete, no matter their age, ability level, or goals; triathlon should add to a triathlete’s life, either through improvements in their physical & mental health from physical activity and exercise, or through achieving goals in training and competition. Evidence based training is very important to Ben. The day he stops learning as a coach, is the day he no longer carries on coaching. Keeping up to date with the latest developments in triathlon & multisport coaching, sports science, technology, psychology, nutrition, and recovery, Ben is well equipped to support athletes who really want to push their performances come race day. Ben doesn’t see any shame in trying and failing – in fact, Ben believes failure is simply another opportunity to learn. Ben channels his own personal and racing experiences to help give athletes the confidence to give things a go and thrive in the process of doing so.

Experience
Working full time, as well as training, competing, and coaching, Ben completely understands how to help busy athletes plan an effective, and enjoyable training plan with principles of specificity and adaptability at the core of everything he does. Ben is excited to coach athletes of all abilities, from complete beginner to elite, and thrives on all the challenges that this presents. Ben has been training and competing in the sport of triathlon for over 10 years. Previously a competitive swimmer, Ben transitioned to triathlon and multisport as a young adult, inspired by the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games, and has never looked back since. Quickly stepping up to the Elite ranks as a Junior athlete, Ben was fortunate enough to race alongside some of the world’s rising stars such as Alex Yee, Sam Dickinson, Barclay Izzard, and Ben Djikstra and had to learn rapidly how to become competitive as a short course athlete. Since then, Ben has quickly established himself amongst some of the best Age Group triathletes in the UK over the Sprint & Olympic distances, and consistently places on the podium. To this date, Ben has won 7 National Championship medals; two of which are National Championship titles and is incredibly proud to represent Great Britain at International level too. Outside of training and competition, Ben works full time in sports nutrition, helping athletes every day to support their sport and active lifestyle through proper nutrition and supplementation. Navigating a busy family and social life, Ben understands the challenges this presents and has developed simple and effective strategies that anyone can use.
