My name is Coach Marta and I have been a coach at Athletics Academy since September 2023. I come from a small country in Europ called Slovenia, where we have a great sport culture. My first sport is Ju Jitsu and I have trained in this for over 18 years.

I also have a passion for cycling, as a beginner and training with mostly men I had to learn about pushing myself and cycling faster. With my dedication and commitment I became a very competent cyclist very quickly, therefore I started looking for more challenges and found a great Triathlon Club. I then developed the disciplines of running and swimming and committed to Triathlon training for the next 6 years. I have no taken part in many competitions, with my biggest challenge was my first Triathon event, followed by an Ironman 70.3 just three weeks later and one month after a full ironman!

I have been a PE teacher for than 18 years and I have a passion for teaching through games, especially to younger athletes. There is nothing better than seeing athletes enjoy your session and leave feeling a sense of pride and fulfilment. That is why I am now a coach at Athletics Academy so that I can pass on my own expertise and passion to the next generation of athletes!
