Parkour Coach • Educator • Programme Developer
About Stephen
Over 19 years of experience helping participants, coaches and organisations develop parkour in practical and sustainable ways.
Experience grounded in coaching
Stephen’s work began with coaching and grew to include coach education, facilitation, programme development, curriculum and resource creation, judging education and implementation support.
Continuing direct delivery keeps his wider work grounded in real coaching environments.
From teaching skills to developing programmes
Stephen has helped develop coach education, curricula, pathways, lesson plans, resources, judging education and club implementation strategies.
The focus is material organisations and coaches can use, not information that remains disconnected from delivery.
A practical approach
- Safe progression — realistic starting points and testing before commitment.
- Adaptability — scalable activities for different abilities, environments and equipment.
- Active learning — doing, exploring, reflecting and adjusting.
- Practical implementation — accounting for equipment, staffing, timetables and participants.
- Purposeful creativity — freedom of movement supported by sound mechanics and awareness.
Across parkour and gymnastics
Professional relationships and projects involving Gymnastics New Zealand, Gymnastics Australia, Oceania Gymnastics Union and Impact Gymsport.
