I have just completed my Bachelor in Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, a leading university in the industry specialising in giving students hands on practical experience in their chosen field. I have gained a extensive experience in the strength and conditioning field, undertaking a variety of different professional practices. Most notably my strength and conditioning internship (SCI) with the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS). This internship has given me hands on experience working with pre elite youth athletes working in a strength and conditioning environment. It has given me a solid set of skills in which to launch my career in strength and conditioning. The internship, run under the direction of Dr Stephen Bird from CSU’s School of Human Movement, has helped by giving my great direction, knowledge and experience in strength and conditioning.
I’m a strong believer in sports specific strength and conditioning training. My programs incorporate individual sports specific training, that will convert into improved performances on the field or court. By training sports specific movements in the gym or on the practice field it will result in greater performances by an individual or team.
Due to 2 shoulder reconstructions I have temporarily given up playing competitive Rugby Union to focus on my Strength & Conditioning Business.
I can design and implement various sports strength and conditioning programs. Please refer to ‘services’.
