Sports Science from the University of St Mary’s (London, Twickenham). Within the 3 years living in London reading for my degree, I have coached athletics intermediate age group Richmond Athletics team also worked at Holland & Barrett health shop, coach u/10 football and also worked as a personal trainer with Chrissie Gallagher-Mundy from Personal Training Academy, arguably one of the best Personal Trainers in the U.K. After graduating I moved back to Malta and started working as a Strength & Conditioning coach, providing training specifically for athlete’s needs. This was something missing on the island having athletes following programs not tailored for their specific needs. In the past 2 years I’ve gained experience as an athletics and football coach having my main focus on strength & conditioning. As a strength & conditioning coach in Malta, the experience is vast having worked in the following sports: Rugby, Swimming, Football, Open Water Swimmers, Basketball, Hockey, Golf, Waterpolo & Sailing. For the season 2015-2016 I was appointed as National Junior Waterpolo & National Swimming Strength & Conditioning coach, helping swimmers achieve various national records and personal bests. Over this year reaching the top in performance sports when I was entrusted with the fitness of 5 sailors (Tunisia, Algeria, Seychelles, Egypt) to qualify for the Rio Olympic Games 2016 & subsequently their fitness to compete in the games. Currently working on a Masters in Strength & Conditioning with St Mary’s University to always keep up with the latest research & always seek to improve my own coaching skills also being able to provide better service to the athlete. The creation of Sports Performance - N.M is to focus on a platform in which my philosophy of coaching is spread. When working with athletes the main focus on is a scientific-based approach in which the exercises, modalities and methods used are all proven and backed up by literature. Performance & injury prevention are the two main pillars which the philosophy of coaching by myself is based upon. I’m also proud to say that I have been appointed as an Anti-Doping Ambassador, to work against drugs in sports which is something at heart.
