Take your daughter to work day. Gaia came as my assistant yesterday to coach and meet some high quality people 😌💪🏽🏋🏽

👨🏽‍🏫 Yesterday I had the pleasure and privilege to present to 30 Master’s Physio students at for a full day.

📚 Covering everything from periodisation, testing, strength training, key concepts one should think about when it comes to analysing the demands of a sport and a variety of other training concepts

🙏🏽 This is a small proud moment for me as when I was younger even a small 5 minutes presentation would give me major anxiety so for me to be able to do a full day like this was a big win. Also never thought anyone would want to listen to me talk for 6 hours but here we are 😂

I’m grateful to SOMT University for the opportunity and trust in helping to up skill their students and as well as the students themselves who came with great energy and interest in the topics we discussed! 🙏🏽

One of the biggest killers of motivation. Keep pushing on 📈📈📈

Workshop reflections

🙏🏽 The dust has settled and there’s been plenty of time for everything to sink in. We managed to organise a very successful workshop full of motivated and intelligent individuals eager to learn and apply new knowledge to their respective roles and this is what it’s all about for me.

I’m so happy and grateful that we were able to bring Matt over to the Netherlands. Personally I never had a mentor to guide me through the training process, I’ve had to pick up a lot of information and apply it as I go, this is very much how it is in our industry.

There are a lucky few who can intern under a true expert, but for the rest of us we need to constantly search for information to improve ourselves and our practice. This is exactly why I was had the ambition to bring someone as knowledgeable, open and experienced as Matt. To provide a space where people can bring their knowledge, level up and inspire more thought. To see how focused everyone was to be able to learn from Matt and hear all the questions being asked was really something I was proud of.

Beside this, the human side of coaching can’t be understated and having opportunities like this one where we can all come together, share thoughts and questions in an open forum is something that books, articles or social media won’t be able to provide in the way that the in person experience can. At the end of the day most of us are in this industry to help PEOPLE, so being surrounded by others who are in the same boat only helps to spark this goal.

Special thanks to everyone that attended, because without your desire to learn we wouldn’t be able to put something on like this, thank you to leaders like who are helping to make training easier to understand and more applicable, thanks to for letting us use their world class facility for the day and finally to for capturing the great energy of the day 📸

This was my first time organising something like this, but definitely won’t be my last, looking forward to what the next one can bring!
