🌍 Where It All Began
I grew up between two worlds:

🏖️ Sandy roads, barefoot races, volleyball before dinner in Samoa.
🏙️ Auckland’s suburbs, touch rugby at the park, waiting for someone to call me in.

“Chur bro, jump in, G! More the merrier.”

Back then, movement wasn’t “exercise.” It was just life.

⚡ The Shift
Then life happened
The games stopped.
The competition faded.
Work took over.
Stress piled up.

❌ The body changed.
❌ The energy disappeared.
❌ And suddenly, the thing that once came so easily… felt out of reach.

Sound familiar?

🚨 The Reality Check
For former athletes, the gym feels boring, repetitive.

Because we were built for more than just lifting weights.
We were built to move, compete, push, and play.

🏃‍♂️ What if we could train in a way that actually felt right again?

🔥 The Mission
This is for the ex-athletes, the weekend warriors, the ones who still have that fire inside them.
💪 You don’t lose the athlete—you just need the right push.
🎯 Let’s train with purpose. Let’s move in a way that excites you.

Because you’re not done yet 🤝

I've had some time to reflect on this journey I embarked on with just five months' notice.

The first challenge was the financial outlay to get a ticket to the event. With some luck and hard work, I managed to sort that out.
The second hurdle was finding a coach to help me prepare for this journey.

Now, here I am, weighing over 100 kg, planning to trek 220 km across the Wadi Rum desert. I thought to myself, "This is absolutely mad!" I had never even run a marathon, though I had completed a 70.3 in Tauranga, New Zealand, over the summer. Back then, the swim was my biggest challenge, but that’s a story for another time.

I eventually found a coach through a recommendation. He asked me for my split times, and honestly, I felt a bit embarrassed—I didn’t have much data to share.

The training began. I won’t lie—I wasn’t waking up excited to go for a run. Running was never really my thing. But once the race was booked, my mindset shifted. It was about getting my body ready for the desert and shedding a few kilos. As I progressed, I started breaking down my personal barriers. I ran a sub-5-minute kilometer and hit personal bests in 5k, 10k, and even 21k runs, on the streets of London, Paris, and Venice.

There was one training run that really stood out—a simulation where I ran back-to-back 21 km days. For me, that was outrageous! But what kept me going was the fear of not crossing that finish line in Wadi Rum.

Now, with 2024 coming to an end, I’m already planning my next big challenge for 2025—something that’ll push me outside my comfort zone again. And I challenge you to think about what will define your 2025.

If you need a hand or an ear to bounce ideas off, DM me with “2025.”

Let’s make it happen together.

I found stepping away from playing competitive sport very difficult. It offered routine, goals and targets were given to us (literally!), training was organised, meal plans were set out.

If you didn’t feel like training, guess what; your peers will give you a gentle nudge to turn up. Accountability came in droves, from coach’s, trainers, staff, supporters, team-mates and old-mate down the road.

Essentially, playing sport had a system where all you had to do was turn up and apply yourself. And blimey, it spat out some tremendous athletes who have graced our screens.

Over the past 18months, I’ve been studying and fine tuning what makes me click (not chasing championships nor a starting spot no-more) & clients tick beyond just turning up for a session.

First step is finding the “sweet spot”. Your sweet spot is your DNA that is unqiue to you that no one can duplicate.

“Pursuing goals which align with the qualities that makes us unique is the first critical step for anyone who intends to excel. Nothing comes before this.”

DM “sweet spot” to find out more.

Who am I?

1- At best, I only cracked the semi-professional route in both codes in Rugby & League. I have played alongside & against those who’ve made it to the big time who went on to become world class players.
I have toiled away at this game that brought me joy and the ultimate lows. I’d chase this pigskin on a cold winters day in 4 different countries.

Will I trade those years? No, I’d be happy to run it from the back fence again.

2- Coaching career started in 2018, when I sustained a head injury (story for another day).

I started coaching at a boutique Sydney gym and interned as S&C at the rugby club, I was plying my trade at. And most recently player/S&C at London Irish Amateurs.

I’ve been a part of a collectively quaint, off-the-wall community at Manor in London for the last quadrenial. If you ever experienced what locker room chat is, this space is not too far off it.

3- The biggest problem I have faced over the last few years is motivation for training. Its probably why I continued playing, as I held my identity in the sport that I dearly enjoyed playing, plugging away to a nostalgic thought of how good I am.

4- Fast forward; I have participated in functional events, jumped into some wacky challenges and experienced other areas of life that were foreign to me. As a result, I am more rounded culturally to these new experiences.

5- The cause I am here to serve:
To help those who love their chosen sport, from high school-semipro to retired professionals. The lessons that you learnt here are unique.

I have a blueprint to rediscover to fall in love with the process again, adjust to your current routine and enhance your lifestyle to become a better version of yourself.

Stay put..

Government guidelines, weather, another persons opinion or anything thats external that you can not control. Don’t spend energy on it.

Spend energy on what you can control to make the situation better. I usually say anything in your 5m radius is what you can control 🔋

𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀: Read a book, journal, draw, chat/check in w friends/family (no texting), meditate and spend time out in nature 📚 🖼 🗣 🧘🏾‍♂️
