Welcome & I hope I find you in the very best of health.
My brief story
I am working full time & have been for over 27 years now in a rewarding profession & I enjoy the challenges my job offers me. At the same time, I have also been studying for a Masters Degree & hope to gain an invaluable qualification to assist me in my future career choices when I retire from my current job in a few years. Whilst this keeps me busy enough, I am extremely passionate about my coaching business as you will see if you book me for a session.
My thirst for coaching is borne from a desire to pass on my knowledge & experience whilst helping others to succeed in their lives & help them achieve their goals & the litmus test for me on a personal level has been surviving life threatening illnesses. Just think double pneumonia, severe blood poisoning, lung pleurisy, MRSA, multiple-organ failure, type 2 respiratory failure, CRP levels at 580 with anything over 200 considered fatal. This was all at the same time in 1 brutal & painful sitting for 5 tumultuous weeks in hospital where I was even put in a side room to die & you get the gist that things were tricky. When the doctor says that you are a miracle to have survived & that no-one with the illnesses that I had along with CRP levels that high gets out alive, you feel blessed. With the doctors also telling me that it was years of playing high level sports (squash) that saved my life as my heart refused to give out along with my absolute refusal to throw the towel in no matter how precarious things had become. The doctors remained incredulous with my survival & later gave me a printout of my CRP scores for posterity & a badge of purpose as I moved forward with my life & I am very happy that I can hit a squash ball again & maintain good health & fitness.
Being extremely grateful to be alive, I smile when I think back to that last day in hospital when I asked for a pen and paper & bearing in mind I had lost 3 stone in weight, had been on full oxygen throughout my time, had not eaten for weeks & with me sporting a long, unkempt & wispy beard that trailed majestically across the floor, I decided to write down my goals that I would achieve later that year;
1 - I would build a medium sized squash court in my garden & help my kids live their dreams of playing at the highest levels of squash - this was done.
2 - I would personally coach my kids to get into Grammar school - this was done.
3 - I would pass a MSc degree - almost there.
4 - My family & I would travel the world even more than we did before.
5 - With a final promise to fully embrace my life with even more passion.
This experience had taught me that nothing is certain in life & it is not what happens to you, but what you do about it that defines you.
Therefore, my advice to you is to live your life & when it is all said & done, have the knowledge that YOU gave it everything you had with full-fat passion, true dedication, burning desire & a bruised up, worn out heart that was honourable until the end. Always be an amazing friend - the very best you can get & live your life with total commitment & focus. Be that person who cared that little bit more, a loyal & dependable soldier. Stay prepared, seek opportunities, take the risks, develop your character & build the memories. At the same time, keep nourishing your mind with knowledge, understand the wonder of nutrition, learn breathing exercises & travel to every far-flung corner of the world. But just remember, don't dwell on the past too long as relationships, love, friends, work, position, money & emotions will all ebb & flow, so learn to adapt & evolve when it changes. After all, nothing lasts forever, so live it up, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take the chances & never have any regrets because at one point everything you ever did was exactly what you wanted. Finally, no matter what - You are never out of the fight , so never give up... (My life mantra...)

What unforgettable memories! |
