Simon's been phenomenal for me. I've started from scratch and not only has he built me up from a low starting point towards long term, long course triathlon goals. His programming is terrific, he's made himself available for all manner of stupid questions and he's forever ready to offer assistance, be it technical, nutrition, training or the mental aspects of the sport. I've loved working with Jarasport...

I highly recommend Jarasport for anyone who is looking for a coach to guide and support them with their triathlon goals. Simon is an amazing coach that has allowed me to achieve things I never thought possible - prior to Jarasport I struggled to run any sort of distance to now having completed multiple half marathons and numerous 70.3 triathlons.Simon creates programs that take into account your work/life schedule to ensure success and consistency with program. Simon is exceptional checking in to provide motivation and has been amazing at improving my headspace when coming back from injury or finding myself in a training slump during winter, he just gets his athletes and understand what they may be going through!

I joined Simon’s squad sessions because I wanted more face to face time with the coach and other athletes. I have loved these sessions! Simon is a great coach with heaps of experience and knowledge. He is responsive, incredibly patient, funny, and helps me keep perspective. And the other athletes I have met through the club are supportive, friendly and genuinely of all abilities, so I have never felt intimidated or out of place. I’ve just done a PB on the bike at Noosa, and I have little doubt that the Tuesday morning bike sessions with Simon and his advice had a lot to do with that.

I've been training with Jarasport and coach Simon for nearly two years now and in that time he's prepared me for multiple triathlons including Sprint, Olympic and half Ironman distances. Simon also helped me to qualify for the Australian Age Group team so I could compete at the 2018 Sprint Distance World Championships. The scope of Simon's knowledge is exceptional, he's also trained me for Duathlons, trail runs and criterium racing! He's managed to correct my swim form, make me a more efficient runner and give me insane strength on the bike, enabling me to smash PB's and get the kind of results I never expected. The squad is a fantastic group of like minded people who support and encourage all members. I've thoroughly enjoyed training with Jarasport and will continue to do so for a long time to come.

I have been with Simon for a few years and he's been a great coach!His knowledge and years of experience made me learn so much about triathlon and he has made me a much faster triathlete (fast enough to win races)!!!It's always been fun training with other athletes from Jarasport and going to training camps.Thank you so much Simon for all your support. Looking forward to what will come next :)

I was referred to Simon through an old swimming coach and would happily pass along the same referral to anyone else who may be looking for a coach. Simon provides comprehensive programs and a tailored service that is absent from many triathlon coaching services in Melbourne, and has been able to quickly identify my strengths, weaknesses and risk areas for injury. Under Simon's guidance, I've gone from an absolute beginner to racing at a World Championship for Australia in under 7 months, and it's been invaluable to have someone like Simon on the other end of the phone to guide me and also pull me into line where necessary.

Great group of people and great coaching. I've loved training with the squad a few times a week and have also enjoyed my solo sessions. Simon's coaching and programming is very detailed and he always explains the thinking behind the sessions. The app we use is very user friendly and I receive my programming well in advance and Simon regularly comments on my sessions. Communication is very quick and easy. I highly recommend Simon's coaching.

I have been working with Simon for about 5 years. It's been a major part of my athletic journey to work with Simon on the development of my program to support the various strategies, racing elite, to National championships and World Championship races as well. The Jara crew are friendly, supportive and have provided a much needed social anchor to keep me, keeping on, with the consistent training. We have been tweeking the program as things change to suit my situation which is great having that flexibility. Simon has a wealth of experience having raced the professional areana across the world for years. In Northcote there are local training venues and routes for those that are in Melbourne, including a newly laid 400m track, outdoor 50m pool... Simon's programs can be particularly great at time efficiency with the loading style he often uses. I highly recommend Jarasport.Jeremy Critchett - 2018 ITU Sprint and Olympic distance Triathlon 50-54 Age Group Champion

Simon is super experienced athlete and coach. After years off from running with a focus exclusively on cycling, Simon got me back into my runners, injury free, and supported my dive into the swim world. Learning how to swim presented its own challenges and Simon was super encouraging and believed in my ability to open water swim. A great investment in my physical and whole well being.
