JAMES SANDILANDS
HIGH PERFORMANCE COACH
Based in Christchurch, Hamish Kerr has quite literally raised the bar for New Zealand athletics. As a high jumper, Hamish made history by becoming the first New Zealander to win a gold medal in the men’s high jump, in one of the most intense jump-offs at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Alongside his close friend and High Performance coach James Sandilands they are pushing the boundaries of what professional life looks like for a track and field athlete and coach.
‘Made For …..’ is our new series showcasing people from the Barkers community who inspire us in their chosen fields. These are people who are striving each day – honing their craft, pushing boundaries and searching for progress to create a better world, whatever that may be to them.
“WE ASK FOR A LOT OF QUALITY AND A REAL HIGH INTENSITY. .”
“I PUT MY FOOT DOWN …AND I KNEW.”
“... TRYING TOUNLOCK MYPERSONAL STYLE & WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.”
For us at Barkers, from the threads we choose to the stories we tell, our goal is simple: to equip New Zealand men with the confidence to navigate all aspects of their busy, varied lives. Throughout the ‘Made for …..’ series we’ll be featuring people wearing Barkers in their own lives, in their own way.
“They say it’s the clothes that make the man, we say the man does that.”
