Drew has over 15 years’ experience in the sport of triathlon having raced from Junior level through to Elite on the international stage for Australia. As well as his dedication to training and competing at the highest level, Drew always had a passion for coaching and helping other athletes achieve their individual goals and reach their potential. Drew began his coaching journey whilst still an athlete himself, drawing on his experiences working with a range of world class coaches, sport scientists and high performance professionals in a range of sports and training environments. This has enabled Drew to have the unique perspective as both a coach and athlete, understanding the specific demands of the sport, and the individual pathways for each individual athlete to maximize their potential and achieve their specific goals.

Since 2017 Drew has been working with one of the world’s leading triathlon coaches Joel Filliol as a coach to the JFT crew in a day to day group environment. Over the years the squad has achieved numerous World Championship Series medals, athletes crowned as World Champions, Super League Triathlon podiums, Olympic Games medals and team representation, World Cup medals, Commonwealth Games podiums, 70.3 podiums and many other achievements.
In addition to the tutelage of Joel, Drew has previously been mentored by two of the world’s best coaches. These two mentors have coached World Champion and Olympic athletes, and provided a wealth of expertise and experience for Drew to draw upon in his own coaching philosophy. Previously Drew has worked with Triathlon Australia as the European Hub coordinator, creating a leading environment for Australian athletes to train and reside when overseas.
As well as working with athletes in a daily training environment, Drew coaches a select group of Age Group, 70.3 and Development athletes worldwide. Over the past years Drew has coached both via correspondence and headed an Australian triathlon club, coaching athletes from junior to senior from initial participation to World Championship level over distances ranging from Sprint to ironman distance.
