Ryan Bidner is an Accredited Athletics Coach, residing on the south side of Brisbane. He has conducted IAAF Kids Athletics program in local schools since the program began in 2015. Ryan has also coached various school-age athletes over those years and is looking to grow by coaching more athletes.

He is currently studying for a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology to become a Physiologist/ Exercise Scientist. His interests include youth development, skills acquisition, talent ID, cardiorespiratory endurance, sleep, stress-response, wearable tech, artificial intelligence, and performance prediction technology.

Ryan has competed in Athletics since primary school and also represented Queensland at the Australian Cross Championships as a Junior. His purpose is to facilitate the next generation of aspiring athletes to reach their goals, while also reshaping participation sport across Australia to improve health in the wider community.

While many adults increased their volume of weekly exercise during the first half of 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic, lock-downs and learning from home decreased sport participation among children. The philosophy behind Athletic Vision and our programs are to;

• engage families in grassroots participation again

• provide affordable sporting opportunities, and

• discover athletes for the future: Brisbane 2032
