He focused on bringing back the fun and enjoyment of athletics and helped Chelsea to run for love, not just to be serious and win. His trainings are built on respect and friendship which helps the kids to train at their capability, not of others” Alumni Community FAST Kids FAST Track Finalist Medalist News Testimonials FAST FemalesGinninderra Athletics
