I have worked as a strength and conditioning coach for 5 years now working mostly with athletes from different sporting codes. I have a real passion for all things athletic development and co-managing clients with their rehabilitation protocols. I also have a love for helping general population embed strength training into their lifestyles and pushing them to exceed their own expectations of themselves.
I first started my journey as a coach with an internship at an athlete training facility. This occurred when I finished my exercises science degree after deciding secondary school teaching wasn’t for me. I quickly obtained an employment roll not long after starting my internship where I worked on my craft as a coach and submerged myself with as must knowledge and experiences as possible. Once I felt I had learned enough from my employment I decided to go out on my own where I created Stronger By Design – Training & Performance.
I can honestly say this has been the most rewarding time of my life working with such amazing clients and athletes from all walks of life. I am proud of the culture we have created where everyone can come and be themselves, train hard, and have a laugh in-between. Whilst we are serious about our training and development, I feel like what makes us difference to other strength and conditioning businesses is our genuine care for our members and their happiness in and out of the gym.
One specific passion of mine is educating footballers of all ages on how to better prepare for their sport. After playing football myself for many years locally and battling injuries due to poor training methods growing up, my goal is to provide a service that I wish I had been exposed to when I was younger. By educating and coaching local footballers with the correct methodologies and systems, I hope to assist them to perform at their highest ability and for a longer lasting career.
With that being said, we have obtained some amazing athletic and fitness results for our members who range from your average joe, weekend warrior, through to the AFL stage and even group 1 horse racing. But all have shared one thing in common and that is a solid relationship and enjoyment along the way.

I am very excited for what’s to come as we imbed our reputation in Melbourne’s west as the one stop shop for athlete development and more specifically both men and women football players.
