About

With over 3 decades experience as an athlete, coach, and mentor, I am passionate about developing and coaching swim programs. I design training plans for beginner to experienced swimmers, coach swim squads to compete in swim meetings, and mentor local coaches. I was the technical advisor and coach for the Cambodia Triathlon Federation, where I provide assistance in developing and implementing training programs for SEA games 2023. I advise and share my expertise with coaches, athletes, and technical officials, coordinate training and testing activities, and support team members in their training activities. In 2022, I co-founded Bikes4kids_Cambodia. a platform where I repair and raise funds to donate bicycles to those in need.
