Hi, my name is Alex, I’m the founder and head coach of Strength Performance. My aim with this offering is to give young ambitious athletes the best chance to achieve their sporting potential by helping them develop into healthy, robust powerhouses who can then dominate in their sport.
Growing up, I was an aspiring footballer and was in and out of academies. Niggling injuries and growing pains hampered a lot of my development from the age of 14 and, looking back, it’s clear I was given the wrong advice as to how to overcome these issues.
Part of my passion for coaching young athletes is to give them the expert support that I never had at the most important times of their development. It is easy to get left behind and to become demoralised as a young athlete if you become plagued with minor injuries and pains that you can’t seem to shake.
At times you can feel drained, lacking that sharpness and feeling like you can’t compete physically with your competitors. My aim is to completely turn this on its head and have you feeling like you are the strongest on the field. What I would have given to have my strength training, nutrition and gut health all optimised and taken care of as a teenager!
What We Offer
-
Strength & Conditioning
An athlete that is stronger, faster and fitter than the rest will have a much better chance of succeeding. We coach athletes in an elite gym facility, following proven methods that will massively boost all of the vital physical attributes for their sport, giving our athletes a competitive edge like no other.
-
Gut Health
My vision for the future is clear: the top performers in any field will be those with the healthiest guts. By leveraging advanced blood analysis and expert evaluation, I can fine-tune your diet and supplementation to optimise gut health—unlocking your full potential and paving the way for maximal development.
-
Nutrition
Nutrition plays a huge role in feeling and performing your best, but I get it—sticking to a diet can be tough, especially as a teenager. That’s why I create flexible, personalised plans that fit your lifestyle and goals, making it easier to stay on track. With the right balance of foods and guidance, you’ll have more energy, recover faster, and feel stronger.
-
Injury Prevention & Rehab
The best way to improve in your sport is to practice and compete, but injuries and niggling pains can hold you back. My approach combines S&C with gut health and nutrition to reduce inflammation, boost recovery, and build a more resilient body. The athletes I work with have fewer injuries than their peers, keeping them in the game and performing at their best.
-
Mental Resilience
That extra support through what can be a stressful process as a young aspiring athlete can make a huge difference. I aim to help young athletes through the good and bad times by equipping them with the tools they need to overcome challenges, build self-belief, and thrive in competitive environments.
-
Medical & Physiotherapy
Rapid consultation with top-tier physiotherapy specialists, capable of providing targeted intervention when critical. Swift access to advanced diagnostic imaging, including expedited MRI scans typically challenging to arrange through standard healthcare channels.
-
Sport Psychology
Access to a highly experienced sport psychologist who knows how to troubleshoot specific areas of psychological challenge as a young athlete.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
I've heard that weight training is bad for children as it stunts their growth. Is this true?
No - there is very little evidence that weight training stunts a child’s growth.
If coached correctly and the child is physically mature enough, then weight training can have a massive positive effect on their performance. We make sure that every athlete is training in the optimal way for their given level.
I don't want my child getting bulky, slow and less agile - isn't that what gym training does?
No - only certain types of gym training do this. All of the training that we do will make your child grow stronger, faster and more agile fitting specifically to the sport that they play.
How often should my child be training?
Any number of sessions per week/month will be hugely beneficial to your child. The exact amount will depend on many factors such as age, development, sport schedule. This can be discussed with your coach.
Why is gut health important for athletes?
Gut health plays a vital role in nutrient absorption, energy production, and immune function—all critical for athletic performance and recovery.
Can you help with common digestive issues like bloating or IBS?
Yes, we specialize in addressing gut-related concerns like bloating, food sensitivities, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that may impact your performance.
How does the online coaching work?
Online coaching includes weekly or monthly video check-ins, based on your preferences. You’ll receive a comprehensive plan tailored to your health needs and goals, and I’ll guide you through each step with daily support to ensure your success.
