The Biathlon Squad

U9 National Biathlon Final — team champions

Pippa was approached in January by a group of athletes with big aspirations to win the National Biathlon Final. For 8 solid weeks she worked intensively with each of them, delivering 2 group sessions a week alongside personalised 1-2-1 coaching to develop their technical skills. They went on to win the U9 National Biathlon Final as a team, and every athlete achieved a significant personal best: Pavlo took 12s off his 400m best to win his individual run race, and James cut 8s off his to finish 3rd, helping secure the team gold.

“Pippa is a fantastic young people's athletics coach who brings energy, encouragement, and great structure to every session. Her drills are engaging and well thought out, helping kids build confidence, improve their technique, and most importantly enjoy being active. She has a brilliant way of motivating young athletes while keeping sessions fun and supportive. Highly recommended for any child looking to develop their skills and love for athletics.”
Alex, father of James
“Pippa is a truly wonderful athletics coach. She is incredibly supportive and motivating, and it is clear how deeply she cares about each child and their individual progress. Pavlo absolutely loves her sessions and always looks forward to training with great enthusiasm. We are so grateful for her dedication, her kindness, and the warm, positive atmosphere she creates for all the children. Thank you, Pippa!”
Olha, mother of Pavlo
“My son has been working with Pippa for only a short while, but the progress he's made has been remarkable. Her sessions are challenging — she really pushes him to give his best — but she has a fantastic way of making hard work feel enjoyable. He genuinely looks forward to every session. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing her athletes to achieve more and keeping the sessions fun and motivating. I couldn't recommend her more highly to any young athlete looking to seriously improve their performance.”
