Developing roots for athletic success

Strength. Resilience. Belief

LONGEVITY

Welcome To Bambu Endurance

My name is Mathew Pears and my passion is to provide the highest level of support needed to fully discover what your body and mind can achieve whilst still thriving in all that life has to offer, at ANY stage in life. In 20 years of coaching athletes, the success stories all have the same underlying traits embedded, strength, resilience, belief and enjoyment. All translating into a longevity of high performance, in all areas.

Bambu Endurance is a 1:1 coaching service bringing scientific knowledge, almost 2 decades of coaching experience and most importantly, a genuine desire to get to know you. The whole of you. Communication is key, to ensure each session is optimal for you and that you move towards growth as an athlete and can continue to thrive in work and family life.

The teachings from the Bambu [Bamboo] form the philosophy of coaching methods and training prescription .

A focus on solid foundations and doing the basics, consistently. This requires patience and a belief, that the rewards in time, will, and do come.

To build strength and durability, in both body and mind. Endurance sports, like life, can be relenting.

To build skills to overcome the testing times, resilience. As the path to any goal is never linear.

Above all, enjoyment and balance coupled with a healthy body and mind, we strive for lifelong longevity in exercise and continued curiosity, to explore and discover how far the journey can take you.

Experience

With almost 20 years delivering high performance support to elite athletes, founder Mathew Pears brings a wealth of knowledge,science and understanding of how to get the best out of every individual.

Mat has coached endurance athletes online for over 7 years and has honed strategic systems that are effective. For the science to happen there has to be the ‘art’ to coaching. Getting to know each individual forms the bedrock of his coaching. A genuine care and sharing of your passion and goals.

Tailored coaching

Training ‘load’ is more than just the ‘what it says on the plan’. It’s the interplay of life, job, nutrition , sleep , travel, ones psyche and much more, that play apart in session prescription and session response.

Whether you push, pull or stick on a training day is key to staying healthy, reducing injury, and maximising your performance in your sport and in life.

We develop open, trusted and positive relationships built on communication to ensure you stay within the ‘sweetspot’ of training, life and enjoyment.

Bambu Endurance offers 1:1 coaching no matter where you are in the world. We work hard to leave no stone unturned and to support you every step of the way, to take the headache out of planning sessions, blocks and seasons, and to optimise your training so you have time to enjoy the rest of joys in life.

RESULTS

Bambu Endurance is proud to play a role in supporting so many athletes in achieving their goals, at all levels.

We have a successful record and very quickly what was once an athletes perceived limits, are in the rear view mirror and sights are set on bigger and higher achievements.

Above all we are more proud to build such journeys whilst continuing to balance, and promote a thriving approach to all aspects of an athlete's life.
