My journey in sports began at the tender age of 5 when I first picked up a tennis racket. This early start blossomed into a lifelong passion, eventually leading me to play for my university tennis team. Through years of competitive tennis, I honed not just my physical skills but also my mental resilience. The intense focus required during tense matches and the discipline instilled through strength and conditioning training have become invaluable assets in my running career.

My experience in tennis extends beyond playing. I've had the privilege of coaching prospective tennis players across all age groups, learning to adapt my approach to each individual's needs and potential. This experience in nurturing talent and tailoring strategies has proven instrumental in my approach to running and coaching.

As I transitioned into a data analytical career, running initially took a backseat, manifesting only in occasional parkruns for fun. However, the post-COVID era (~2021) marked a turning point in my running journey. Under the guidance of an exceptional coach (a 2:22 marathoner), I found a new level of consistency in my training. This led me to join an elite running group, training alongside athletes ranging from 2:14 marathoners to sub-14 minute 5K runners, three times a week for nearly a year. This experience was transformative, teaching me the importance of adaptability and focusing on confidence-building elements in training.

Currently, I balance my career in fintech with a rigorous running schedule, consistently logging around 100km weeks. This blend of analytical thinking and athletic pursuit has ignited a new passion: helping runners of all abilities improve their performance. My unique background, learning from world-class tennis and running coaches who have worked with top ATP, WTA players, and elite runners, has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

My goal now is to share this expertise, helping people not just run faster, but do so in a smart, sustainable, and most importantly, enjoyable way. I believe in the power of a smile during a run and the joy of seeing progress. Whether you're aiming for your first 5K or looking to shave minutes off your marathon time, I'm here to help you achieve your goals while ensuring you love every step of the journey.
