Sometimes progress is so gradual you don’t notice it… until you stop and look back. And honestly, this year was bigger than I first realised.
Becoming Head of Sport Science at Dumbarton FC with full autonomy to build a department, launch an internship programme, and create university partnerships has been a huge step forward.
Alongside that, I moved into full-time professional basketball with Caledonia Gladiators, Scotland’s only pro club, designing strength programmes, game-readiness testing, and rehab & RTP pathways.
Away from elite sport, I ran a ProPerform mentoring pilot in a local high school, now developing a full programme with my good friend and mentor Robert Kielty, while also delivering S&C camps for performance schools and elite youth players in the gym and on the pitch, many thanks to
Grateful for every opportunity along the way, here’s to 2026. 💪⚽🏀

Team Update
Not a well kept secret but in September I took on a new role as Men’s Lead Sports Scientist for the Caledonia Gladiators, Scotland’s only full-time professional Basketball club.
With a great culture already in place, and reuniting with my mentor, I look forward to pushing the guys on to the next level and expanding my reach into a different sport.

Goalkeepers Who Quit Too Early All Make This Mistake
Here’s the cold truth:
Most goalkeepers don’t fail — they just quit too soon.
The biggest mistake they make?
They mistake the pain of progress for the sign to stop.
One bad game…
One negative comment from a coach…
One week of low confidence…
And suddenly, they’re packing it in — convinced they’re not cut out for it.
That’s not failure. That’s emotion talking.
Every great goalkeeper has faced setbacks. Every top keeper has been benched, blamed, and broken at some point. The difference? They kept going. They didn’t confuse a hard moment with a dead end.
If you’re struggling right now, good.
That’s the fire you need. That’s where growth lives.
Keepers who stick it out — through the rough patches, the doubt, the silence — are the ones who eventually shine. Not because they were lucky.
But because they refused to walk away.
So here’s your choice:
Fold when it gets hard…
Or stand tall and prove you belong.
The gloves don’t quit. Neither should you.
