Paul's Coaching Philosophy

"I believe that every athlete is an individual and everyone must do what’s right for them. It’s a relationship. I'm going to commit myself to you as an athlete - but in return I expect athletes to maintain a similar commitment. There is no point working with me if you are not going to follow what I deliver. Every session is part of a plan. A plan, you as an athlete, have worked out and agreed in advance with your coach."
