James has been absolutely wonderful with my eight-year-old son’s running training. In just his fourth session with James, Radvin came second in his school race — such a huge improvement from last year — and his confidence has grown so much along the way.
James has been supportive, encouraging, and really knows how to motivate kids while still making the sessions enjoyable. Radvin was incredibly proud of himself, and seeing the whole school cheer for him was such a special moment for us as parents too.
We’re very grateful for all the time and effort James has put into helping him improve, and we’re excited to continue training with him for next year. Highly recommend.
My children really enjoy their running training with James each week.
He is an excellent coach and we have noticed considerable improvement in their running technique and pace since starting with James.
We would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a skilled and enthusiastic running coach.
