Episode 10: From Hospitality to Coaching – Ed’s Inspiring Mini Athletics Journey
In this heartwarming episode of Mini Athletics and Me, Clare Bowyer and Hannah Danby sit down with Ed Danby, who swapped 70-hour weeks in the fast-paced world of hospitality for a more balanced, fulfilling life running his own Mini Athletics franchise.
Ed opens up about the transition from managing late nights and high stress to spending his mornings on school runs, coaching children, and working alongside his wife, Hannah. He shares the highs and challenges of building a business together, from learning to embrace social media to finding joy in inspiring the next generation to love sports and movement.
We explore how Ed’s passion for coaching has reignited his own fitness, how family is at the heart of everything he does, and why the Mini Athletics support network has been key to his success.
Whether you’re curious about franchising, looking for a better work-life balance, or simply love hearing real stories of growth and grit, Ed’s journey is packed with insights and inspiration.
