I am an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and completed my undergraduate degree in Dublin City University, receiving a first class honours in Sport Science and Health Studies. In Dublin, I began working as a S&C and PE Teacher in Blackrock College, where I spent the first 2 years of my professional career. There I worked with athletes between the ages of 14-18 and also collaborated with Leinster Rugby, coaching many of their sub-academy and underage representatives, many of whom have gone on to receive full professional contracts with the province and some of whom have represented Ireland on the world-stage.

I then began working as S&C coach for Lansdowne RFC, who play in the All Ireland League, where I was offered the chance to work with professional players in both XVs and 7s, a couple of whom were competing the HSBC World Rugby 7s circuit.

I was then offered the once in a lifetime opportunity to relocate to Singapore, working with UFIT and leading their Youth Academy, which I helped to restructure and reprogram, pushing it online for further expansion.

During my time in Singapore, I also spent time coaching underage rugby at both TRC and Dragons Rugby, whilst simultaneously, serving as assistant coach to the Wanderers RFC Prems side, during our 2019-20 league campaign, where we finished as runners-up.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic I was forced to return home to Ireland, where I decided to open my own gym, whilst working with Cistercian College Roscrea in a S&C and rugby coaching capacity.

After persistent COVID-enforced lockdowns, I made the decision to move back to Dublin where I began my work in the GAA, serving as Head of Athletic Development for Thomas Davis GAA club for a couple of years.

During this time, I also was given the chance to tutor in 3rd level education, lecturing in a couple of Biomechanics modules for Portobello Institute.

Following 3 years working with Thomas Davis and a couple of years of accelerated growth of Petey Performance, I have made the decision to transition exclusively to the private space and move much of my coaching online. This presents a new challenge for me in a big move to Australia coinciding with a big push to help more people online. I’m excited for the journey!
