Eddie Vining

Eddie here!

I was born and raised in South Africa, before immigrating to Australia. I've lived in Melbourne, Sydney and now call the the lovely city of Brisbane home.

My background is track, where I competed for over ten years at level where I was fortunate enough to compete against the best in the world. Once I hung up the spikes, I immediately felt disconnected from the world. For the first time in a long time I didn’t have another life to fall back on. Work started becoming stressful, I was making brash decisions and my life felt out of alignment.

Not a good place to be, so I started jogging again.

I’ve always kept my eye on triathlon as it seemed like a sport that rewarded hard work. Put in the time and effort and you can be successful. Besides the physical benefits, I immediately noticed the social and philological improvements in my life. Even though triathlon is an individual sport, there tends to be a crowd of people tagging along for the journey.

The transition was far from flawless, as I experienced countless set-backs on the path to becoming a Professional Triathlete. If the journey was easy, everyone would do it.

Being able to juggle a full time profession as an Engineer working 50+ hour weeks, training full time at a level that's allowed me to have confidence when competing and maintain commitments to family and friends is something I'm proud of. There is definitely enough time in your life to live a healthy and well balanced lifestyle. 

I started my own private coaching service because I have the motivation, determination, commitment and experience to share with others. I enjoy providing guidance and keen to help provide direction to individuals seeking their full potential.
