By the age of 17, John had completed his first year as a sports coach and had just passed his FA Preliminary coaching badge. This started his passion for coaching, which lead to an obsession with movement and exercise planning.Although he firmly believes in Science driving answers, and that you are as good as the research you put into the job, it is also important in the S&C community that you can back this up with qualifications and experience.John has worked with GB Netballers, Premiership Footballers, other Professional Footballers, National Canoe Polo Players, Olympic Triathletes,  Professional Rugby Players and more as well as having his Football Performance course be referenced positively at a national soccer convention in the US. In a massive call to authority (see the course content), he has also trained up to MSc level in Sports Science with an emphasis on Injury and Performance, to compliment his Degree in Coaching and Fitness. He attended GAIN (Vern Gambetta's internship), GIFT and also qualified with the NASM on their Performance Enhancement Specialist and Sports Performance Specialist as well as completing his NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
