She also achieved a Silver medal in the England’s Strongest Woman competition. Tracey’s passion for sporting excellence has also been a focus for her career, which has seen her working with elite athletes including professional rugby players, rowers, cyclists, sprinters, footballers, CrossFit athletes and Olympic weight lifters.
