My name is Abi Courage, 24 years old and North East born and bred.

Throughout my life, I’ve been an athlete of some description at one time or another. My main sport was always horse riding, representing my club nationally at the UK Championships back in 2017 in Eventing. Alongside that, I was a gymnast for 11 years (took it seriously at club level for about 4-5), played rugby relentlessly for 7 years and danced for 4 years too. After significant  ligament damage in my ankle from a riding incident, I had to retire from all of the above, except riding… because that would be the obvious thing to do? 

Naturally as most athletes do when they lose their sport, I lost direction. As much as I kept training in the gym, I didn’t really train very hard and never really had a goal. I did my stint at uni, worked hard, played harder through 1st and 2nd year then during my placement year I got in touch with Nathan to help me sort my shit out. I took part in the yearly photo shoot and found the love for it. 

Nathan and I worked together to take me from a drunken mess to someone who had their shit in order. I currently work in the International MICE Industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) in conference management and we specialise in High Security Printing, Currency, Holography – loads of complicated, secure stuff. I came out of uni with a First Class Honors Degree and the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the course in BA Events Management at 87% overall grade. Yeah I’m a bit of a nerd. 

 

During my 3rd year and whilst trying to complete finals, I also prepped for my first competitive season and sustained 2 jobs while doing so (I think by now we have established I don’t like the easy route) and I came away with 4 class wins, 3 overall championship titles and a 2nd at the Natural Bodybuilding World Championships in Toned Figure. Decent. 

While I am a young professional within the events industry, I am also the second coach for TeamDomin8 and I give my all to my clients – whether they are a fat drunken mess like me in uni and just want tidying up, have aspirations to do that yearly photo shoot or want to take themselves to step on stage, I can give my all to getting them there (and possibly more compassionately than Nathan 😉)
