Setting you up for success

ELITE SPORT IS HARD, BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I know all too well how hard it can be to make it in elite sport. It took me sleeping on a friends sofa, working multiple jobs & grinding 7 days a week for years to start progressing in the field.


Even once you land that first few jobs! The grinding does not stop as you figure out your processes and ways of working.


That’s why I’ve created this course! This is what I wish I had when I first started.


I want you to get a leg up in your career. A starting boost. Have a place to go when you have questions or you need a little encouragement.Β 


THE PLAYBOOKΒ has built-in ways for you to get help, whether you're looking for feedback, stuck with a problem, or you just need a little pep-talk before a big situation.


Within the course I have set up two ways for you to get additional support through our amazing community.

β€œI worked with Ben for over 5 years. Through his knowledge and willingness to get the best out of me Ben has vastly improved my fitness, speed, strength, power and mobility. Ben was always keen to help me out no matter when or where, even if it meant joining in sessions and leading by example.” 

Jodie Taylor –England International & San Diego Wave 

β€œI worked with Ben for 4 years in preparation for two World Cups in regards to my Weights and Power / Speed Development. Together we plan my season taking all elements of my schedule into account. Ben has helped my physical development immensely which has taken my game to another level. I had never lifted and trained in the way I do now prior to working with Ben and it has definitely improved me as a player.” 

Leah Williamson – England Captain & Arsenal 

I worked with Ben for 4 years as I first came into the England squad. Ben worked with me individually and pushed me a lot, taking my physicality to the next level. I thank Ben for making me physically ready for the France World Cup. This expertise coupled with his upbeat and energised personality kept me motivated to improve & played a big part in getting me to the level required.” 

WHAT THE COACHES SAY...

Phil Morrow – High Performance Director – Saracens Rugby Club 

"I worked with Ben for a little under 4 seasons at Saracens Rugby Club. The enthusiasm and energy that he brought to his role was second to none. His ability to balance the science of training and the emotional intelligence to get the best out of players is what set him apart, and we were extremely sad to see him leave our organisation."

I had the pleasure of working with Ben for 4 years. Ben is an excellent team player. He has a passion to get the most out of people as well as a desire to learn, evolve & innovate. Ben runs a well organized, structured and disciplined program. Ben would be an excellent addition to any sport team or program.

He has a very good work ethic and works really well as part of a team. He can self organise and problem solve in the moment in a creative and dynamic way.
