Nothing is ever too much trouble for Bec — she writes individual training plans, modifies sessions for all levels and abilities and incorporates those with injuries and special needs with seemingly effortless aplomb.
Tell us about a moment or incident that shows your nominee’s dedication to sport:
Bec trains like a machine. But she also supports all of her athletes regardless of what else she has going on. Recently she had an awful cold and was in training for her own events but got up super early to drive two hours to support her runners and then drive back two hours to work in her running shop. She managed her own training around this. It meant so much to everyone.
