I’m James, a sports science graduate from the University of Glasgow with a deep passion for extreme and outdoor sports. From competitive sailing to wakeboarding, snowboarding, and rugby, I’ve spent years both competing and coaching in high-performance environments. Alongside this, I’ve honed practical skills in physiology, psychology, performance monitoring, and media production, giving me a versatile toolkit for sport, event, and athlete-focused roles.
My experience ranges from coaching wakeboarding with Neilson Holidays to working aboard sailing yachts and volunteering as on-call RNLI crew—each role building resilience, communication, and calm decision-making under pressure. My dissertation explored psychological and neuromuscular risk factors in snow sports injuries, reflecting my interest in applying science to real-world performance and safety challenges.
Creatively, I’ve produced highlight reels and photography that capture the energy and culture of action sports, complementing the storytelling side of events and athletes. Whether on the water, snow, or in the lab, I bring energy, adaptability, and a team-first mindset to every challenge.More...
