Testimonial for Coach Mike Moriarty & M.A.D. MultiSport – Morné Nel

I’ve been part of M.A.D Multisport for several years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding journeys of my athletic life. Under Mike’s expert coaching, I completed Ironman in both 2015 and 2017, along with numerous 70.3 triathlons. His guidance goes beyond training schedules – it’s about mindset, balance and pushing limits while staying grounded.

One of the standout experiences for me has been the Graskop cycling camp. That weekend captures the essence of what M.A.D is all about – grit, camaraderie, breathtaking climbs, and more laughs than you’d expect while pedalling uphill. It’s where personal limits are tested and team spirit shines.

M.A.D isn’t just a training group. It’s a tribe of determined individuals brought together by a shared passion and led by someone who genuinely cares about each athlete’s journey. Whether you’re aiming to finish your first sprint tri or chasing a Kona slot, there’s no better crew and coach to back you.

I am proud to have my own kids grow up in and around M.A.D and to have cultivated a love for endurance sport that will be with them forever.
