About Chris
As a coach who is both educated and an athlete, I incorporate my knowledge and experience to provide a thorough coaching experience with my athletes. Research and literature isn’t everything, however the practical application of knowledge paired with a good coaching eye, can deliver phenomenal results.
I understand people; their challenges and their journeys as I have walked in their shoes. I have been overweight, suffered from an eating disorder, been the strongest, weakest, fittest and most unfit person in the room in different parts of my life, as well as compete in an array of different sports and represent my country. This truly allows me to both empathise with my client’s circumstances and strategize effective methods to overcome any potential challenges and deliver a positive outcome and ultimately guide them to achieve their goals.
Although I have been more sought after as a powerlifting and weightlifting coach due to my competition credentials, I thoroughly enjoy working with an array of different athletes, including combat, field and endurance athletes. I have been around sport my entire life and have had extensive experience in sports injury rehabilitation. This stage of my career enabled a thorough understanding of movement optimisation and biomechanics, which I apply daily to improve my athletes’ sports performance and athletic development.
