TESTIMONIALS
“At the beginning of 2025, I began my journey towards Ironman in December of that year, and signed up with John as my coach. It proved to be one of the most fulfilling years of my life. I once said to John “If you get me through this Ironman, you’re a genius” and get me through, he did!
John gives 110 percent to his athletes and coaching commitments. His plans are structured around an athlete’s goals and capabilities, taking into account life outside of training. I am a shift worker so this wasn’t always easy, but John made it work.
He promotes strong communication and always listens to his athletes’ concerns, fears, addressing injuries, as well as a huge focus on mental health and promoting strength in this area. John would regularly send out podcasts to listen to which I always enjoyed and found very useful.
I found John to be an open, honest, caring and extremely supportive person, always striving to get the very best out of his athletes. I loved having the structure to my training week and the relief of knowing John was always there to answer my questions, no matter how silly they seemed. He conducted several bike fits throughout the year and even came to my house to set up my indoor trainer. He goes above and beyond.
Regular face-to-face meetings were also a feature of John’s coaching plan and I would be shown a lot of data and graphs indicating my improvement in speed and endurance. All I ever had to do was follow the plan, knowing John was taking care of the rest.
I highly recommend John as a coach and mentor and am pleased to say that I am also continuing with John in 2026, as I look to improve on my performance in the Busselton Ironman in December.”

“John is a brilliant, calm and very knowledgeable coach. I contacted him for swim coaching when an injury paused my trail running, and he listened completely to my goals and was very supportive while sorting out (initially hopeless!) technique. I wasn’t a swimmer AT ALL when I met John, but can now comfortably go out and swim lengths of the bay with friends in the ocean, which had just been a dream when I moved to Australia. He can clearly coach at the highest level but even when the goal is not an epic race he is also soo helpful and patient. Would highly recommend.”

“John was able to build a program for me that allowed a stronger focus on weight training, running and cycling to keep my fitness and strength improving whilst my shoulder healed … John’s coaching style is one that I respond to well. He is patient and knowledgeable and is in it for the long haul, not just the transaction. John spends time getting to know his athletes not just as clients, but as human beings with other responsibilities such as work and family. He listens to your concerns about how to balance work, life, training and family and build plans with you that make sense and at the same time keep you completely interested and motivated to perform well. John’s own experience as an athlete has translated extremely well into his coaching and for mature, late age athletes, his style works exceptionally well. I can only highly recommend John to any athlete - experienced ones, new ones, young ones and mature ones. John is flexible, a great communicator and will definitely help you improve whatever discipline you are looking to improve. Take the opportunity to call John - you won’t regret it.”

“John has been an incredible help to prepare for my first Half Ironman 70.3 distance last October 2020. Before this event I have never done any kind of triathlon and John went above and beyond to ensure I am mentally and physically in top shape for the event. With his one on one coaching and his "we can do this" attitude I felt 110% supported and prepared. Not only did we go to the race course together twice (!!!) beforehand but he even made the effort to call my parents (from AUSTRIA) when I crossed the finish line to ensure I have all the support I need even though they couldn't be there physically due to COVID. I cannot imagine a better coach!!!”
