Professional Rugby Player for Leeds Carnegie

At first, I wasn’t too sure about the importance of S&C in my training routine as I had never had it before. I soon learnt of the importance as it gave me an insight into what professional sport was/is and how you have to look after your body, and the more you do that the easier the rest of it becomes. I have massive respect for what Steve and the Team do."

5*’s. I’m loving the Performance Coaching! It means I can train without ‘over’ training. The coaching has helped me gain speed & strength in both my runs & rides. Steve is always on hand to give me encouragement and advice as well as telling me to slow things down to get the right results. Steve’s Sports Massage services at SB Therapy is an added bonus if you are thinking of joining the Performance Coaching team as Steve knows my training schedule and where my niggles are!”

Coach Steve has been an awesome asset to my own fitness goals and pursuits. What I appreciate most about Steve is his patience through his coaching. Ive played just about every sport their is over the last 20 years of my life, with every kind of coach out there. I've come to the conclusion that based upon my own evaluation of how I perform, the best way to get something out of me is to have a coach who gives me positive feedback and encouragement. Stephen does exactly this. As an engineer, I also love looking at data. So it's awesome that he uses the software platform that he does!”

I really love the coaching, as I always have. Helping me stay focussed even whilst away at uni with no rugby games in sight. Super helpful for guidance during lockdown restrictions as well! Steve is always on hand to help with any niggles too, offering extra stretches and stuff to help. Swear I’ve never seen him offline on WhatsApp. Also big plus for me is how malleable the schedule can be to fit around all my other training commitments.”

I cannot fault Steve as a coach (and as a coach myself I tried honestly!). It feels like he's got a sixth sense of how to plan my schedule, and when to increase/decrease the load. The most impressive bit though was getting through the pain and frustration of injury across the Summer. It was a masterclass on inspiration and motivation, and I’m achieving things I honestly didn’t think possible - especially now at 50!”
