Paul Westbury (ILT Coaching Manager)
Email: paul.westbury@sportsouthland.co.nz
My primary passion is the sport of rowing which has been directly responsible allowing me to live my dream. From Southland I started as a Club coach in 1987 and become an Olympic Games Coach in 1996. During the last eight years I have coached in the New Zealand summer at St Margaret’s College in Christchurch and then worked for my own company Global Edge Sports in Canada and the USA during the summer in the northern hemisphere summer.
My coaching of athletes and other coaches and working with administrators and sports science support teams has given me much experience in many different environments giving me a unique outlook of systems effective at both grass roots and elite international levels. Without the support and encouragement of the Southland community none of my achievements would have been possible.
I am determined to help Southland where I can because I will never ever be able to repay the investment which has been so generously made in myself, my club, and my teams which allowed me to aspire to the highest level of sport, and then travel the world meeting wonderful people of all age groups from every part of the globe.
