Your First Session Is Free.

We want parents and athletes to experience the coaching properly first. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a real session with real coaching. The trial session helps us understand the athlete, their sport, how they move and what they need most.

In Their Words

Athletes. Coaches. Real Outcomes.

From grassroots sprinters to professional rugby league, the results speak for themselves.

★★★★★

"I'd been training for three years and plateaued completely. Tim rebuilt my start mechanics from scratch. I dropped from 11.9 to 11.4 in the 100m over one season. I hadn't seen that kind of improvement in years."

★★★★★

"My daughter started with Tim at 12 after being cut from her school athletics squad. Two years later she's representing Yorkshire. The technical detail he goes into at every single session is what sets this apart from anything else we tried."

★★★★★

"I brought four of my rugby sevens squad to Tim for a summer speed block. Within eight weeks their 10m split times had all improved significantly. One lad who was considered slow is now one of the fastest in the squad."
