Where coaching can help - Is this you?

Stuck?
You've been training consistently but your performance has stopped progressing.

Preparing for something important?
You're working towards a competition, PB or specific performance goal and want a structured plan to get there.

Already performing at a high level?
You want to refine the technical, physical and psychological details want to refine that separate a good performance from your best performance.

Coaching built around you

There is no universal training program for freediving.

I help freedivers understand what is limiting their performance, then build the physical, technical and psychological skills to perform beyond it.

Your program is built around:

Your goals
What are you trying to achieve? Is it a competitive goal or are you trying to learn more about your nervous system to perform when it matters.

Your physiology
Apnea, recovery, flexibility, strength and individual limitations.

Your technique
Identifying where efficiency is being lost and developing the skills required to improve it.

Your psychology
Relaxation, tolerance to discomfort, confidence and ability to perform under pressure.

Your life
Work, travel, sleep, stress and the time you actually have available to train.

Your competition goals
Building towards the performance you need, when you need it.

ATHLETE RESULTS

I work with freedivers at all stages of development - from those doing ongoing training after completing a freediving course to athletes competing at national and international level, including national and continental record holders.

These are examples of results achieved at competition during coaching cycles.

Every athlete's program is individual, and progress isn't measured by distance alone.

What does coaching actually involve?

Online coaching isn't simply about receiving a training program. We identify what is limiting your performance, what you need to develop, and how to structure your training so you can keep progressing.

Initial assessment

We look at your goals, training history, experience, strengths, limitations and lifestyle to understand where to focus your training.

Individualised training

Your program isn't a generic template. Your program is built around your goals, physiology, experience and schedule.

Training can include pool and dry apnea, gym and strength work, mobility, flexibility and breathwork, depending on what you need and the facilities and time available.

Coaching & feedback

We review your training, performance and recovery each week, identifying what’s working, addressing challenges and adjusting your program as you progress.

We focus on the specific factors limiting your performance — whether that’s technique, efficiency, contractions, relaxation, CO₂ tolerance or performance under pressure.

Ongoing progression

Your training evolves as you do. As your abilities, needs and goals change, we adjust the program to keep challenging you without compromising recovery/consistency.

The aim is to build sustainable progress rather than simply chase short-term results.

“He taught me not to chase a number or time or a wall but to focus on feeling. Once I tapped into that I found growth and adaptation came so naturally………I got 3 white cards and 3 pbs. It felt amazing to have had such growth in not only my breath hold and physical ability, but in my heart and soul, Jarrod helped me find true purpose in life.”

I have coached Justine through preparations for freediving and fin-swimming competitions since 2023. Justine is a force to reckon with - she is a mum, a passionate competitor and one of the most resilient and likeable people I have ever met. Since her first competition in 2023, Justine has consistently performed at her best in competitions and achieved podium positions and broken National and Continental Records in both Freediving and Finswimming.
