Summary
Committed and hardworking, self-employed personal trainer with over 20 years experience working in both team environments as well as working individually. Self motivated and positive person, who loves working with others to achieve great outcomes. I enjoy being active and impacting my community in sport coaching and mentoring. Having represented Geelong in both football and cricket, I developed my leadership skills as captain of the Leopold Football Club over 5 years and was honoured to be named in the club's team of the century and team of the 90s. After finishing my career with 3 senior Best & Fairest awards, the club named our senior football team "Trademark Behaviours" award after me, also being the inaugural winner, for exampling leadership and personal behaviours both on and off the field. I am driven and highly motivated with an exceptional work ethic and desire to get the best out of myself and others.
