๐Ÿ”ด BREAKING: DCH PERFORMANCE LAND BENEDICT MILSON

SKY SPORTS NEWS

DCH Performance have strengthened their backroom team with the appointment of Benedict Milson as Strength & Conditioning Coach.

โญ WHO IS BENEDICT MILSON?

Known across the industry as โ€œMr Big Friday,โ€ Milson brings an impressive combination of elite sporting experience, competitive success and S&C knowledge to DCH Performance.

๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพ Olympic Weightlifting
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ Athletics
๐Ÿ‰ Rugby Union
๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ Powerlifting

Milson is also a multi-weight British Champion, having competed successfully across the 102kg, 109kg and 109+kg categories.

Academically, he holds a BSc (Hons) in Strength & Conditioning Science from St Maryโ€™s University.

But his credentials only tell part of the story.

๐Ÿง  THE MINDSET

Benedictโ€™s coaching philosophy has been shaped by his own physical and mental setbacks, adversity and years of delayed gratification.

That experience has helped develop a mindset centred around discipline, resilience, patience and long-term development โ€” qualities he now brings to the athletes he works with.

His door is already open to the DCH squad, with athletes encouraged to reach out regarding Strength & Conditioning, rehabilitation, strengthening niggles and performance development.

๐Ÿ”ด THE DCH CONNECTION

Milson has been a mentor to Coach Devontรฉ, with the pair working together at Bounce Gym New Malden since 2018.

Now, after years of collaboration, that relationship officially becomes part of the DCH Performance backroom team.

There is also a strong connection within the squad, with Milson having studied at St Maryโ€™s University, the same university attended by Khalid and Kyra.

This isnโ€™t just another appointment.

Itโ€™s another piece of the infrastructure being built around Coach Devontรฉโ€™s independent sprint squad.

THE BACKROOM IS GETTING STRONGER.

๐Ÿ”ด KHALID TO DCH PERFORMANCE โ€” HERE WE GO! ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿšจ

THE SAGA IS OVER. TOTAL AGREEMENT. ๐Ÿค
After fielding interest and offers from groups across the UK, (JA), and the USA, and following weeks of intense speculation sparked when the pair were spotted outside Stratford Speed GP, along with missing out on the National Relays squad where 5/7 DCH athletes made the cut while he watched from the sidelines Khalid_sprintz has finally made his choice. Amid false rumours linking him to a double deal alongside an other teammate, Khalid ignored the noise, trusted the bond, and has officially chosen to join Coach Devontรฉโ€™s independent sprint squad, DCH Performance. ๐Ÿ”ด

โณ THE HISTORY (2020โ€“25): The foundation was already built during years of hard graft working together. Now, that relationship comes full circle as they reunite for the next chapter.

ONE YEAR INDEPENDENT โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ
25/26 SEASON REVIEW

1 year ago today! I backed myself, and I couldnโ€™t be prouder of what weโ€™ve built. PBs, medals, setbacks, comebacks, and Nationals. The times matter, but the people and the culture matter more.

Massive first season together.
โ€ข 60m: 7.07 (7.17)
โ€ข 100m: 10.85w (11.03)

BFTTA Series 4 Highlights
Great weekend for the squad!

Strong, competitive racing, All sub-11 performances, some windy 10.8s PBs and plenty of positives to take away.

Well done to everyone who stepped up and competed.
A great battle for places in the National Relays squad, with everyone showing the level needed to compete at the top.

Proud to have led by example and shown the squad that perseverance, resilience and what listening to your coaches does. Hopefully this sets the foundation and inspires everyone to keep pushing towards bigger goals.
Special shoutout to Gianni for the legal PB and Man of the Match performance.
More to come.
