Andrew Budge
Andrew Budge began coaching endurance sport athletes in the early 1990s and founded Trysport Strength and Conditioning in 1992. He has helped numerous ultra-endurance athletes achieve first-time finishes, and has coached several national champions, multiple world champions, and Paralympians.
His most cherished coaching moment was watching his wife Terri finish her first Ironman World Championships in Kona (1999) and Terri finishing Hawaii (2005) with all 4 of their children.
Coaching Mark le Flohic to a Road Race Gold Medal at the 2004 Athens Paralympics.
What Andrew loves about coaching is all of the interesting and inspiring clients that he has met, as a result of his job. Particularly those that may have lost some ability and focus on what they can do, not what they have lost. Helping athletes to get the best out of their performances and being part of their life journey to their great achievements.
