Tia
English Schools pentathlon champion
Tia is among the top heptathletes in the UK: English Schools pentathlon champion, top three for U17 long jump, top two for U17 heptathlon, and second for England at the international SIAB match. Pippa has been supporting Tia and giving her technical advice to aid her development.
“I first reached out to Pippa, wanting to achieve a better outcome in my multi-events, especially achieving more help in the sprint hurdles. I knew Pippa had experienced the heptathlon and could coach me from a multi-events perspective. Since seeing Pippa, I have developed a sharper, more fluent and explosive way of hurdling, allowing me to achieve better times with the hurdles and overall better speed in my athletics. Outside of track, Pippa has inspired me mentally to not give up and put in full effort even when it's hard. She has influenced me immensely and supported me to be the best version of myself. Coach Pippa is kind, motivating, and determined, which has made me view others in a positive light and made me enjoy life in and out of athletics.”
