lacrosse

Lacrosse is a passion of mine. I have played at county, regional level and international level.  I have trained and represented England at U18, U21 and also at senior level for the last ten years.

gladiators

Gladiators was one of my favourite shows when I was growing up. I always wanted to have a go on ‘Hang Tough’ and run the ‘Eliminator’.  In February 2008, I was selected to audition for Gladiators in Newcastle. I was successful from the starting application of 80 000 people. I appeared in Series One on Sky One. It was an amazing experience and I reached the Semi-finals.

triathlons

I started doing triathlons in the off season for lacrosse to help maintain my fitness for England Lacrosse.  I love the variety of the training and the challenge of competing in three different sports in one race. I have competed in a variety of Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons, gaining good positions in many. I recently competed in the London Triathlon (Olympic distance) in August 2009.

Thankfully we are all different and we all want to achieve different things. This means that there is no magic formula and what works for one, will not work for another. When we meet you we will go through these steps.
