The Coach


Photo of Me

My name is Brendan Peeters, and I have over 20 years of experience in the sport of track and field, as both a high-level athlete and coach. I started competing in athletics and cross country events as a junior, and I represented both Queensland, and Australia on numerous occasions.

After high school, I moved to South-East Queensland to pursue both my working career and track and field dreams where I specialized in the demanding event of the decathlon. Following many successes, my most proudest moment as an athlete was being named as the captain of the Australian Track and Field team at the 2008 Oceania Games where I won Gold.

Unfortunately, a series of injuries forced me to end my track and field career in 2012. However, I found a new passion in coaching, and I have been passing on my experience to the next generation of track and field superstars ever since.

I have achieved a lot in my track and field career, but I am most proud of the fact that I have been able to help others achieve their dreams. I love seeing the look on a young athlete's face when they realize that they can achieve anything they set their mind to. I am passionate about track and field, and I am excited to continue coaching and helping others reach their full potential.

OUR SQUAD

We pride ourselves on providing a strong personal relationship between every athlete and the coach. This is achievable by selecting athletes based on a long-term commitment to our program and limiting the number of athletes we take on.

Our squad consists of athletes who are dedicated to taking the next step in their athletic journey specific to Track and Field. Our program runs year round covering events ranging from the 100m through to Cross Country with a strong emphasis on the Australian Domestic Season.
