“Coach Tu has worked with my elite aerobics athletes that I’ve coached over the last 3 years.
He has helped produce an exceptional team environment whilst also encouraging individuals to shine in their own right. He has fostered positive relationships between athlete, coach and parent and worked on helping the girls to recognise that they need to be thankful for the many gifts they are blessed with. I have learnt from Coach Tu the importance of having a strong support network that always encourages you to perform to your best. We are all very grateful to have Tu's help and support and without it we would not have achieved the fantastic international results that we have.” Kirsten Palmer—Coach NZ Junior Aerobics Team (2010 - 2012) Photo: Kirten and Madison Milne
“This year we have seen Madison grow as a person, in her character and decision making in all areas of her life. I wish I had have engaged Coach Tu earlier.” Kim Milne—Mum of Madison from Botany, Auckland
“The note book has really helped me overcome the pressure and fears of competition, especially when we were in Serbia for the World Champs. His tailored handy hints during each coaching session, really helped me to address key concerns in my life at that time and has set me up for many more years of competitive sport to come.”
