Growth

"You only ever grow as a human being if you're outside your comfort zone."


"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer."

Percy Cerutty

Percy Cerutty is best known as the eccentric coach who helped take Herb Elliott to victory in the 1500m at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Postal worker turned athletics guru, Cerutty revolutionised running training in Australia - most famously by making his athletes run up and down sand dunes. Herb Elliott is just one of many athletes who credit Percy and his unorthodox training methods with helping them reach their full potential.
