Head Coach – Blair Talbot
Blair’s coaching journey started with his three children and grew in to Coaching a small number of athletes after the sad passing of local coaching legend, Les O’Brien. The Off Leash Athletics training squad is deliberately small so we can focus on ‘coaching’ as opposed to large group training.
Success isn’t the only measure of a good Coach but it is an indicator that what we do works. See a summary of squad results below. We have achieved success at local, State and National level.
