Our Team
Becky Lyne: Founder and Co-Director
After enjoying an international athletics career that spanned over 10 years and culminated in a European bronze medal at 800m, I felt a strong desire to want to give back.
The happiness and enjoyment I find in being active and eating healthily, plus the psychological growth that comes hand in hand with pushing your limits is something that I love to try and share with and nurture in others.
Since retiring from professional athletics in 2012, I have set about doing just that. Using the experiences from my career and qualifications, I have passionately ploughed my energies into developing TrYumph in Life.

Joseph Thomas-Greaves: Head Coach and Co-Director
Ever since I was little I have always loved being active and creative! Whether that was with arts, crafts, sports or being outdoors!
As Co-Director of TrYumph in Life, I combine that energy with a deep commitment to supporting every child’s unique journey. With Level 2 qualifications in Counselling, Mental Health Awareness, and specialized training in Autism, ADHD, and Behavior Management, I pride myself on reaching the children who need a little extra patience and understanding.
My goal is to create an environment where staff feel supported and every young person—regardless of their challenges—feels empowered to thrive and have fun.
