NEWMETA TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials
Carl Russell

RLSS Lifeguard Trainer - sub6life.com

James worked on swim techniques that focused on lowering my 400m swim time. We did specific drills customised to what I need to improve on.

Hard sessions were added when appropriate with some open water sighting work to help direction leading to fastest route.

James really understands the sport as he has lived it at the top level and knows how to deliver the coaching sessions.

Online Coaching

I asked James to coach me as I has signed up to Challenge Roth, a long distance triathlon. Having completed Ironman Barcelona previously, I knew how many things I had got wrong.

Entering a triathlon can be a large investment in terms of time, entry fee, travel and kit costs. However triathletes tend to overlook the need for an experienced triathlon coach. I had read all the magazine articles, the advice was unanimously that once you have the basic Tri kit, the next investment is in a coach. But who doesn’t like a new pair of wheels or an aero frame? These will get you marginal gains, however James will get you to the finish line or save you hours rather than minutes.

I cannot recommend James enough, my training is focused, balanced around my personal and work life and most importantly consistent. James is there for the journey, is invested in me and my goals. Providing the expertise from an MSc and his own triathlon accomplishments at the highest level. Training has now changed from being a chore to being thoroughly enjoyable.

Open Water Swim Coaching

I went to James for open-water swim coaching during the summer of 2020. It was my first season of open-water swimming – I had very little experience and very little confidence. After 3 sessions with him, I was able to sight, my body position and stroke had improved, I was much faster and I felt more confident in the water. By the beginning of September, thanks to James, I was race-ready for the National Aquathlon Championships: I knew how to start in the water, I knew what to expect and I had options if things didn’t go to plan.

I had the swim of my life at those championships and managed a 1k personal best – in spite of things not going to plan! I came second in in my age group and that performance was enough to get me selected for the Triathlon Ireland age-group team (55-59) for the World Triathlon Aquathlon Championships in 2021.

I have absolutely no doubt that the coaching I had from James made all the difference. And I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him as a coach.

Elite International Irish Triathlete

I've been working with James for over nine months now. I struggled for years with getting some consistency going with training, and never setting realistic goals for myself.

Since I've started with James I've managed to train virtually uninterrupted for the last 9 months, and really enjoy all of my training again. Knowing I can trust James to write a detailed program allows me more time and energy to simply go out and enjoy training. Since then, I've had more consistency, and genuine enjoyment in training that I haven't had in years.

Knowing that I can trust James to write my program with detailed analytical focus, lets me totally switch off from thinking about training and just focus on getting training done. He's always up for some craic when planning training too which is a big plus in my book. Whether you're looking to smash PB's or simply enjoy living an active healthy lifestyle, James's analytical and fun approach to training is a great place to start.
