A race that has so many factors that are certain. That allow you to prepare mentally and physically. You could say totally out of character for someone who has spent so much time pursuing endurance events with so many unknowns. Everything serves us somehow, so long as we know how then the net gain normally turns out as an upside and not the other way round. For the hardcore mountain bike crew as well as those with a certain perception of what a bike race should look like, please look away. This is a race like no other, something pretty unique. Sand of various density and gradient, even rather damp at times. And of course mother natures conditions in the open space of Al Qudra that change by the minute. The wind during our warm up different from that on the start line, the chang...
Who Am I?
Purpose Driven | People Focussed | Holistically Ready | Always Learning | Living Life
I am an entrepreneur, motivational speaker extreme athlete and coach. With a clear vision of making peoples lives better through health, culture and environment, I have developed and established two successful businesses, including international performance company, InnerFight; and Paleo food provider, Smith St Paleo.
With a competitive sporting background, I played professional rugby from the age of 18, with a major highlight being my participation in the 2009 IRB Rugby Sevens World Cup. Retiring from the game in 2010, I moved to CrossFit and endurance challenges which I still take part in and love.
I believe that developing mental strength through physical challenges is one of the keys to a successful life and have multiple challenges and ultramarathons to my name. My experiences in these challenges and my near death experience have helped me coach numerous people to achieve their goals. From athletes wanting to run 1 mile or complete an ultra endurance event, to CEO’s setting workplace or leadership ambitions, to anyone seeking their life’s purpose and desires.
Prior to establishing my first business InnerFight, I spent 10 years in the sporting goods industry, with over five years as a sales director at market leader, Adidas and my final year at Nike.
Hire Me To Speak
“Motivational”, “thought provoking”, “inspirational”, “forward thinking” are some words that my audiences have used to describe my talks.
From 50 people to 500 people, from kids to adults, I have had the privilege of speaking and motivating audiences around the world with a simple vision of making their lives better through sharing my experiences, my take on life and how I looked death in the face and decided to live.
My TED Talk is short and powerful bringing together the 9 months from when I nearly lost my life to running 30 marathons in 30 days.
At schools I inspire children to live, something I think we often forget to do.
In December 2018 I shared my “30 Marathons in 30 Days” experience with a sell out audience at InnerFight’s “InnerTalks”
“Lessons From The Desert” gained me international respect as I shared my lessons from 2 years of running over 2,000km across some of the worlds most brutal deserts.
