When it has to work first time, in public, against the clock.
I help teams, leaders and athletes perform when the stakes are high and there’s no playbook. My experience comes from Formula 1 pit lanes, first-of-their-kind endurance missions in Abu Dhabi and fifteen years as an international athlete.

How I work
Quantified Athlete is my performance practice, established in 2018. I bring sport methodology and an engineering mindset to complex problems in elite sport, national-scale events and organisations. The work I do best is novel, logistically complex, and delivered by teams against hard deadlines when people are watching, often with a national or global audience.
