Octopus Sports Coaching.
Helping you to be your best one step at a time.
We specialise in training beginners, the nervous, through to age groupers. Children to pensioners and all in-between.
Get together with a couple of friends, work colleagues, fellow sports participants and get in touch. Before work, after work, lunchtime, weekend, it’s your choice.
Need some help to improve your technique? Just you or with a friend or two, no problem. Each session is designed for you and what you need to work on…….not what you think you need!
An important thing to remember is we will make sure you have fun, improve and get supported all the way. It isn’t just about the physical movement. The brain plays a huge part and support will include how to get your brain and body working together rather than fighting.
Don’t know how to fit getting out and moving into an already busy day? No problem. We can help look at your day and how to plan it so you can fit in the essential “you time”.

Here are some of our medals from the weekend. Have you got some nice ones to show? 😊
This weekend has been Long Course Weekend here in south Pembrokeshire. If you haven't heard of it, it involves a sea swim Friday evening, cycle sportive Saturday and runs on Sunday. There are various distances including a full Ironman over the 3 days, which earns you a coveted 4th medal. It is a great.weekend of sport.and people pushing themselves far outside their comfort zones. If you haven't yet, get entered and we can help you train for it.
If you are going sea swimming make sure you know the tide times, the height of the tide (as it will make a difference to how fast the water is moving), and where the local currents are at their worst. No matter how good a swimmer you are, the sea is stronger.

“Our Atlantic 85 rescued a swimmer caught in a strong current at the end of the pier on Sunday evening. Our crew were alerted to the incident by fishermen calling for help as we washed down the lifeboat from an earlier callout #SavingLivesAtSea”Injury is something that a lot of triathletes have to deal with. Some caused by training too hard too soon, some by accidents, some by not listening to your body. Accidents are mostly outside of your control. The others aren't. Help yourself by being sensible! Build training up gradually, not rushing in like a bull in a china shop. And if you start getting niggles or pain? Go and see an expert. Do NOT start asking social media to diagnose you. That is madness. Build up your own network of experts that you can go to when needed. Physio, sports therapist, podiatrist, osteopath, massage therapist to name a few. Then use them! You will be glad you did.
One 2 one coaching is so satisfying. Just a few tweaks has made an obvious difference to a clients sea swimming technique this weekend. They have left with a.more relaxed and efficient swim stroke and a lovely head position in the water. Coaching points to keep working on and before and after videos will be theirs to refer to whenever they need a reminder. If you want some help get in touch and we can have a chat.
