ADAM JOHNSTONE

I'm a Performance Coach at Paddle UK, working within the World Class Programme supported by UK Sport. Part of my job is helping an athlete live the persona they chase. Fast, technical, smooth, whatever that looks like for them and helping preserve that identity when challenges present or fatigue starts to hinder it. The testing and training I build exists to protect that edge, not just measure it.

When I'm not doing that I'm usually still watching people move, just through a camera instead of a stopwatch. I'm a coach first, photographer second or maybe the other way round depending on the day. Either way, it's the same eye at work.
