If you've ever searched for an Indigenous running or strength coach, you might have noticed something: there just aren’t many of us.
The fitness and coaching industries are overwhelmingly dominated by non-Indigenous professionals. While Indigenous athletes have made huge impacts on running and sports history, few have had the opportunity or visibility to step into coaching roles. This isn’t because we aren’t qualified or capable—it’s because representation in coaching has been historically lacking. The barriers to entry are higher, and the pathways to leadership aren’t always clear for Indigenous people in sport.
This lack of representation matters. Coaching isn’t just about programming workouts; it’s about understanding the experiences and needs of the people you serve. For Indigenous athletes—or any athlete who values a coach with cultural awareness and a different perspective—having an Indigenous coach can make a huge difference.
Indigenous knowledge is deeply rooted in movement, endurance, and connection to the land. Our ancestors ran for survival, for ceremony, for community. That wisdom still exists today, and when combined with modern training science, it creates a powerful approach to coaching. But finding a coach who understands that? That’s tough.
That’s why I do what I do. As an Indigenous running and strength coach, I’m here to offer a space where culture, science, and training come together. I work with athletes who want more than just a generic plan—they want coaching that recognizes the importance of resilience, adaptability, and long-term sustainability.
If you're looking for a coach who understands not just the sport but the deeper meaning behind movement, I’d love to work with you. Let’s train in a way that honors both the past and the future.
