Building Rory

Rory Buck Portrait

Hey, I’m Rory.​

Deeply Curious about Life & Performance. Also, I hate being in traffic.

I’m a full time Endurance & Triathlon Swimming Coach & Consultant.
In a former life I was an internationally ranked swimmer. I swam for South Africa. Went to a Wold University Game’s and a Commonwealth Games and was a 4x NCAA DIII National Champion. I now run a business, coaching athletes remotely & in perrson while balancing the training needed to become an elite 70.3 AG triathlete.
Through my writing, videos & podcasts I explore ideas, strategies and tools that I think can help me optimize and grow my business, be a better athlete, improve my abilities as a coach & find deeper meaning & joy in life.
