Nutrition

Food has never been more complex yet so simple and in a world where it seems that fashion dictates so much regarding health and nutritional intake it has been a mission of mine to keep things simple yet effective for myself as an athlete that was at one point completing a twelve hour working day then three to four hours of training either side of this maintaining a balanced approach that will allow the athlete to perform at their fullest potential is a science that cannot be ignored. I enjoy looking at the biometrics of the individual athletes and their scientific measurements to enable my calculations to be put into place for them to fuel their training.

Strength and Conditioning

Fitness and resistance work can at times a complex and confusing area of elite athletes training when they have specialised in any discipline. Its important to create plans that appeal to the athletes and relate to their goals and potential outcomes, I provided complex training systems based on the individuals over microcycles and often over longer yearly and four yearly programs. The combination of working for steady athletic performance coupled with the need for rehabilitation and recovery when injury occurs is an integral aspect for the modern athlete.

Cardio

Having competed in wheelchair racing and the high speed and agility based sports of Wheelchair basketball, tennis, and most other sports I have specialized on the art of maintaining a good power to weight ratio when it comes to speed and endurance and have provided amongst others graded plans on a periodised basis for a variety of different athletes of different ages, all responsive to their individual needs.

High level coaching in wheelchair basketball

Having been a National league coach for seventeen years now I have practiced on a reflective and game by game based achievement level. I have studied the game with the highest level mentor that I currently work with regularly. Having coached at every level from development, women’s and men’s national league and European level I have an appreciation of the game and the complexities that arise from this on an international level and domestic one.
