Why coach
Athletics has been a big part of my life, first as an athlete and now as a coach. Today, I'm grateful to be coaching under Athletics Cook Islands, in a different country from where my own athletics journey began. Coaching gives me the opportunity to give back, share what I've learned and help young athletes develop both on and off the track. Through sport, they learn discipline, resilience, confidence, commitment and how to keep going when things get tough. For me, seeing that personal growth is one of the most rewarding parts of coaching, and I would encourage anyone with a passion for athletics and helping young people to give it a go.
