YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE!

WHY CHOOSE SB PERFORMANCE

I coach and manage both professional and amateur Athletes for the past 6 years. I am dedicated in guiding Athletes to their capable potential and achieve their dream goals. I also provide strength and rehabilitation based programmes for Athletes who are injured so we can return you back to play as safely and efficiently as possible, yet stronger! 

 

  • MSc in Sport & Exercise Therapy

  • Professional S&C Coach (ASCC Accreditation, UKSCA)

  • Rehab Lead in Professional Football

  • ITMMiF pitch side trauma qualified

 

I am a current GB level Age Group Athlete in both Triathlon and Duathlon having also qualified for the Ironman World Championships (Nice 2023).

Over the past 16 years I have held various professional positions in elite level sport and, I have also competed at an elite level. I have been very fortunate to have held Strength & Conditioning (S&C) Coaching roles at Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls and Scotland Rugby. I was also named on the regional coaching team as an S&C Coach for British Triathlon. I have served as a Royal Marine and competed in many Marathons, Triathlons and several Ironman Triathlons. Everyone who has a goal will require a structured training programme and consistent feedback to get there. In 2019 I set myself my own; to compete in Great Britain Age Group Triathlon Team at the World Championships. Following the 2020 year and race season (that we shall all never forget), my qualifiers were pushed back to 2021 season where I have qualified for both the GB Age Group Teams for the European & World Championships in 'both' Duathlon and Triathlon. "Remember, the name of the game is consistency and this is the key to success." ​I will add you to my Team of Athletes and just as I am going about my training, I will do the same for you but better, as you will have me to guide and inspire you!

HOW DO I START?

STEP 1

This information will allow Steve to plan a starting point and give you any specific testing criteria to be carried out to establish your training zones, training loads and understand how you perform as one of our Online Athletes.

WHAT MY ATHLETES HAVE TO SAY.

CALLUM IRVINE

“At first, I wasn’t too sure about the importance of S&C in my training routine as I had never had it before. I soon learnt of the importance as it gave me an insight into what professional sport was/is and how you have to look after your body, and the more you do that the easier the rest of it becomes. I have massive respect for what Steve and the Team do."

Professional Rugby Player

  • I’m a complete beginner - can you help me?
    Yes. If you have a goal and would like structured and managed support, then I’m here to help and back you all the way
  • I don’t have a lot of time in a given week, but I’d like some coaching - can you help me?
    Yes. If you are tight on time and do not have a lot of time to fit in training then my Part Time Coaching option would best suit your needs
  • I’m purely interested in gym training - can you help me?
    Yes. I am a certified Strength & Conditioning Coach and I have worked in both the Professional and International standards in a variety of sports
  • Can I just do an Ironman with minimal training?
    In a nutshell, yes - but I would strongly advise you don’t just rock up! However, within your Coaching process, we would need to understand ‘what’ position you are currently at in terms your ability and gauge a realistic time frame moving forwards towards completing your first Ultra Triathlon.
  • How many training sessions a week will I have to do?
    We will work together to figure out what goals you have and what timeframe we have before your first event. From this, we will then be able to work out and plan a realistic training week for you to manage.
