Sean Williams is a highly experienced fulltime running coach. He has coached runners of all ages and ability levels for 15 years. Those who have improved under Sean’s guidance have included absolute beginners who cannot run 400m around a track at snail’s pace to the current Australian 10km record holder Ben St Lawrence; from 3 year olds to 80 year olds.

Sean has used his lifelong experience as a runner and fanatical student of the sport to partake his knowledge to anyone who needs assistance. Starting his competitive career as an 8 year old in Little Athletics, Sean went on to become a decent senior runner with pbs of 14.09 for 5km and 29.31 for 10km to his name. Some of Sean’s greatest running mentors over the years have included old running buddies Paul Arthur and John Andrews and coaches June Ferguson (Australia’s most successful coach in history with 5 Olympic Gold medals to her name- 4 by Betty Cuthbert and one to Maureen Caird), John Atterton, Pat Clohessy and Nic Bideau.

Sean loves his training camps in beautiful locations around NSW and virtually lives in his daily training/squad location of Centennial Park in Sydney.

Sean’s biggest wish as a coach is that every runner under his care gets the absolute best out of themselves

I feel that it is my job to take a person beyond a point at which he/she thinks a challenging task is impossible to a point where they believe it is possible. Once this occurs, people can reach challenging targets.

I plan to show many people the way to fitness and well-being. I want to issue people with the challenge of actually using their bodies, and using them the way their bodies are designed to be used. Hopefully, if you follow me, you can be a role model for other Australians.
