“I have been working with John since early June 2019, this initially started with him prescribing me a weekly training and corrective programme. This soon transitioned to me doing more formal Coach Mentoring. However, even the initial exposure to Johns methods of assessment and prescription was insightful, which had a positive impact on me reflecting on my own methodologies.
Since focusing on the mentoring, we have explored both my personal and professional philosophies, both of which took time to complete to a high standard, but the process really made me think hard about who I am, why I do things a certain way, and allow me to identify development areas.
We have subsequently focussed on specific topics such as energy system development, which has included question and answer, case studies, as well as a bespoke presentation John put together for me.
Another task was putting together a systems document that covered the training strategies I implement within the tennis academy, where I am the Head of Sport Science. This proved to be a positive process in which I involved the other team members, cementing our thoughts on all of our systems.
Finally, by going through the above tasks and gaining experience of John mentoring methods, has subsequently enabled me to improve my own mentoring skills, which has including running coach development sessions for both our S&C and tennis coaches.
I would certainly recommend Johns mentoring services. For sure, he is the mentor that I have been searching for, he uses both his personal and professional knowledge and experience to challenge me to become the best practitioner I can be.”
