Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

About Chris

Chris is a strength and performance coach who specialises in helping athletes and everyday people become stronger, more powerful, resilient, and confident in what their body can do.

His approach brings the principles of high-performance strength and conditioning into an accessible one-on-one coaching environment. Whether you’re competing in sport, returning from injury, or simply want to train and move like an athlete, Chris builds structured training around where you are now and where you want to go.

A major focus of Chris’s coaching is ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT. developing strength, speed, power, jumping ability, movement quality, and physical resilience. He works with athletes across a range of sports and levels, from developing juniors through to competitive and high-performance athletes.

Chris also has a strong interest in return-to-sport. rebuilding athletes after injury. Working alongside a client’s physiotherapist or healthcare team where appropriate, he helps bridge the gap between rehabilitation and confidently returning to training and sport.

His coaching style is energetic, practical, and highly individualised. Chris believes training should have a clear purpose, and clients can expect to understand not only what they’re doing, but why they’re doing it and how it contributes to their goals.

Chris holds a Bachelor of Science in Sport Development and Management and continues to develop his knowledge in strength and conditioning, athletic performance, and sports science.

Having competed in rugby and basketball himself, Chris understands the demands of balancing performance training, sport, work, and everyday life. Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find him strength training, playing basketball, preparing for rugby, or finding another way to compete.

Chris works particularly well with:

  • Athletes wanting to improve strength, speed, power and performance
  • Junior athletes looking to build strong training foundations
  • People returning to training or sport following injury
  • Recreational athletes who want professional, structured strength and conditioning
  • Anyone who wants to become stronger, more athletic and physically capable

Chris’s goal is simple: give everyday athletes access to the standard of strength and conditioning normally reserved for high-performance environments.
