With over 24 years of experience as a high-performance specialist, I am humbled to have supported medallists at the Olympic Games, World Championships, and Commonwealth Games. Fundamental to my values is a desire to understand “what it takes to win” and to align sports science and sports medicine structures that promote ‘world-leading’ performance standards in the most competitive of sporting arenas.

Previous roles have included Technical Leadership as a Senior Strength & Conditioning Coach at the English Institute of Sport, National Lead for Strength & Conditioning to both Great Britain Taekwondo and Great Britain Basketball’s Olympic programmes, and Head of Strength and Conditioning at Newcastle United Football Club in the Barclays English Premier League. I gained my PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Connecticut, USA. I have authored/co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and in 2010 was the recipient of the Terry J.
