Dave Negus
Profile and Career
I hold a Bachelor of Sports Science, Performance Triathlon Coach with Triathlon Australia, and an Advanced Swim Coach with the Australian Swimming Teachers and Coaches Association (ASCTA).
My coaching experience extends from the beginner through to the elite level and I have been privileged to work with Olympic Triathletes, Swimmers, and also Professional Surf Ironmen. In addition, I have worked as a member of the Australian Paralympic Coaching Team which resulted in successfully placing one of my swimmers on the 2008 Olympic Team.
As a Sports Scientist, my passion has always been to make available the latest coaching tools and research to the everyday athlete whom I believe is just as deserving as a professional athlete regardless of their ability. To complement this belief, I am an ‘INSCYD’ coach which allows me to do full metabolic profiling of my athletes in order to make specific and informed coaching decisions. I am also a ‘Stryd’ Run Coach which allows me to coach based on running power.
I also bring to my coaching my personal experiences having competed at a very elite level in Modern Pentathlon, Triathlon, and Surf Lifesaving. These experiences equip me to mentor and support athletes across multiple sports and disciplines as it pertains to my value of Seeking Excellence.
