Tim Williams

As a performer Tim was good at most sports but didn’t specialise in any and didn’t progress beyond participation level.  As a coach, however, his nature, attitude, interests and attributes have enabled him to coach to the highest level: firstly with Heather, who he coached throughout her triathlon career, and subsequently with cyclist Emma Pooley, who he has coached from novice triathlete to Olympic Silver and World Championship gold.  

Until December 2010 he worked full-time and coached local cyclists and triathletes in his spare time.  However they include World, European, national and regional medallists at youth, junior, U23, Senior and Veteran age groups.  He has also helped hundreds of cyclists and triathletes get more enjoyment and satisfaction from swimming, running and riding their bikes.

Following the closure of the Symbian Foundation in December 2010 - and the disappearance of his job - Tim became a full-time coach.

He was a first category racing cyclist and can still hold his own in a first cat racing field, which means that he can coach ‘on the bike’.  He is the Head Coach at the Cambridge Triathlon Club and, as the Regional Head Coach for British Triathlon, he organises and runs the Eastern Region Academy for talented youth and junior triathletes.

He has British Triathlon (Level 3) and British Cycling (Club Coach) coaching certificates and is a British Triathlon coach tutor and mentor.

 

Heather Williams

When we created Perfect Condition in 2003 Heather was coming to the end of a racing career that saw her compete at national level as a swimmer and internationally as both age-group and elite triathlete.  As an elite triathlete she saw the birth of draft-legal racing, competed all over the world and represented Great Britain at World Cup and World Championship level.  She was also British National Elite Champion. 

Since retiring from racing she has continued to work for the benefit of triathlon and triathletes: initially as a Regional Development Officer for British Triathlon and more recently with the Performance Programme which, as Performance Director, she now leads. 

With a first career in insurance, information technology and accountancy Heather's knowledge and experience encompass a wide range of amateur, elite and professional sport and business.

Though Heather doesn’t have a great deal of time to work directly for Perfect Condition her knowledge, insight, professionalism and performance standards are reflected in everything that we do.
