I have been coaching since 2017. I started going to the gym when I was 15 years old, to build muscle after having been seriously ill. I have always been interested in the science behind the gym ever since I started training. This is how I ended up at Chichester University studying Sports and Exercise Science and then going on to do a Masters in Strength and Conditioning. At first my training was focused on getting strong for the sports I played (American football and rugby). But, as I progressed in my Masters, I fell in love with training which led me to find powerlifting. I love the science around it and I am still as excited to read new literature as I was when I first started.

During my time coaching in powerlifting, I have taken on a number of athletes, both males and females, ranging from complete beginners to elite (1 x first place Worlds (AWPC), 1 x first place European (AWPC), 1 x first place British (ABPU), 3 x 2nd place British (GBPF). I have also worked as a Strength and Conditioning coach for many teams in sports such as rugby (University of Chichester Rugby Team, First team), football (University of Southampton first-team footballer), sailing (students under the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme at University of Southampton), netball (Surrey Storm Academy) and athletics (Optimising performance for sports).

My coaching style is simple, I help you understand why we do things – I find this is the best way of properly reinforcing good lifting behaviours.
