At Curious Minds Athletics, my coaching philosophy is built on the foundation of curiosity, creativity, and science—three essential components to unlocking an athlete's full potential. I take a holistic, research-driven approach that goes beyond physical performance, integrating mental resilience, problem-solving, and personal growth into every facet of training.

I view coaching as a collaborative partnership. Together, we work to develop smarter, more adaptable, and resilient individuals who thrive not just in sports, but in every aspect of their lives. My approach prioritizes autonomy and independence, encouraging athletes to take ownership of their journey while providing the support and resources they need to succeed. I aim to create an environment where curiosity, joy, and laughter are celebrated, because true growth happens when athletes feel motivated, inspired, and engaged.

At the heart of my philosophy is a commitment to continuous growth. It's not just about reaching the destination—it's about embracing the process, pushing boundaries, and evolving into the best version of yourself, both as an athlete and as a person. If you're searching for a coach who values curiosity, resilience, and a passion for long-term development, I would be honoured to partner with you on your journey to reaching your full potential.

My coaching approach has been deeply influenced by the work of key thought leaders who emphasize holistic growth, mental resilience, and the importance of enjoyment in sports. Mike Boyle’s dedication to athlete-centered, evidence-based training has shaped my focus on sustainable, long-term progress. Phil Jackson’s integration of mindfulness and emotional growth inspires me to prioritize both the mental and physical well-being of my athletes. Brené Brown’s insights on vulnerability and resilience have reinforced my mission to create an environment where athletes feel safe to embrace challenges and grow. Cheetham’s emphasis on collaborative coaching and athlete autonomy aligns with my belief in fostering curiosity and ownership in the development process. Finally, Dr. Stuart Brown’s research on the power of play fuels my commitment to building fun, supportive spaces where athletes can explore, learn, and cultivate a lifelong passion for their sport. These influences guide me in creating well-rounded, resilient athletes who excel both on and off the field.
