Coach

idris

I’ve been Coaching since 2007 after graduating with a degree in Sport & Exercise Science. Back then athletic performance was what I was interested in and I went onto work in pro sport as a Strength & Conditioning Coach and as a Sport Scientist. Over the years Ive worked with professional athletes competing across a number of sports. Some of the athletes I’ve worked with have had success with the British & Irish Lions, Wales Rugby, Premiership Football, and Bellator MMA.

I’m fascinated by the way we move and what we’re capable of. I feel a sense of awe when I think about our capacity for adaptation and our potential to lean into life. I believe that our experience of the world is shaped by our ability to move within it, and I also believe that the quality with which we move can have a profound effect on how we experience our experiences. These ideas are what underpin my approach to living, and my approach to coaching. Moving well gives us freedom.

I’ve learned many lessons from a lifetime in sport, training, and goofing around. I express myself in movement, and it holds a great deal of meaning for me. Moving along this path has given me so much, not just in terms of fitness and health but in understanding myself. It’s enabled me to do some really cool things, have some of the best times in life, and help me cope with some of the worst…

When someone comes to me for coaching, I hope to inspire them in movement. I want to share my knowledge and experience as a coach and athlete to help people enjoy their bodies, unlock its potential, and use their bodies in ways which is meaningful to them.
