Ironman PB
One major standout is his belief in balance - that training should only form one part of our lives - and he was quick to adjust training as necessary, and also to rein me in if I started to get ahead of myself.

Multiple AG Ironman Winner
At 60, I needed a coach who will consider my age and my races’histories and the environment and the time I had to train and my goal and of course my fitness level to get my ready to Thun full Ironman Switzerland 2021.
Mat really got my nutrition right, gave my body enough rest (60 hold) and got my run better for full hilly Thun Ironman Switzerland.
