Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe competing in the Olympics

arthur lanigan o'keeffeWell done Arthur

Great news for Arthur Lanigan O’Keeffe who has made it in to the Olympics as part of the Ireland Modern Pentathlon team.

At 20 years old, this is a great result and is just reward for his hard work and dedication.

He has some form having competed at the World Championships at only 17 (pictured right with me and his coach Drew Wilsher).

Arthur trained with me weekly for 2 years on a Platinum package 

Modern Pentathlon Training

It was a busy time, juggling school work (well, not so much of that) with all of the 5 modern pentathlon disciplines. Arthur was part of a great group that I worked with then, including Greg Longden (16th in Youth Olympics) and Louise Helyer (Commonwealth Silver Medallist)

It’s just a shame about his socks.

Good luck Arthur.

Sean Clifford- Point Guard
I feel that training with South West Talent and James Marshall has been the best thing I've done for my basketball career so far. It has greatly improved my overall athleticism which has been a real benefit to me when on court. More importantly, however, the training has enabled me to continue playing whilst suffering from a back injury which has caused me real problems over a number of years. It has made huge improvements more recently and I am confident that I will be in good shape to play this coming season.
