Darren Collins
Darren is a coach and motivational speaker originating from Southampton, England and now residing in Melbourne, Australia where he has lived since 2006.
He is a below-knee amputee who enjoys sharing his own experiences to help others overcome adversity, eliminate self-limiting beliefs and to challenge themselves to develop a mindset for success.
By his own admission, his life since his amputation in 1999, deteriorated for a while and he began to get stuck in his self-defeating behaviours whilst endeavouring to counter this with hard core fitness activities. Including boxing and rowing.
However, when he began to develop a meditation and mindfulness practice several years ago, and had his 2 children, he was able to begin to make the change he needed by aligning with his core values and getting in touch with his true purpose.
Darren is now pushing his fitness hard, has changed careers and is advocating for amputee rights through his talks, activities and social groups.
Darren has competed in the Spartan Super at lake Dewar, is running the Melbourne Half marathon in October and hopes to complete his Spartan Trifecta in Bright in November this year.
