Having played basketball at a representative level for over 16 years and now competing at a semi-professional level, my coaching philosophy and mission has been heavily influenced by the experience of pushing myself to my limits. I was not blessed with elite physical attributes nor natural talent, and in my junior years I did not have access to high-level coaching or skill and athletic development programs that are more prevalent nowadays. But what I did have – was a genuine love and passion for the game which spurred me to develop a strong work ethic and a curiosity of finding ways to improve my game with the resources I did have. 

Now, having completed a degree in Exercise & Sports Science and in Education/Teaching, combined with my experience playing basketball competitively, I have developed the skills to help dedicated basketball players improve their athleticism, so that they can maximise their on-court performance and give them the best chance to achieve their long-term goals. Unlike many coaches who focus on short-term gains, I am passionate about helping basketball players understand basic applied strength & conditioning principles to give them the tools to be proactive about their long-term athletic development – so that they understand some of the “why” behind “what” they are doing and use that knowledge throughout their playing career and beyond.
