Coaching with Grace

Four weeks ago, Mike and I sat down and set a few goals: one of these where to achieve 3 box jumps at the top height.

From there, I built a structured 3-day training split designed to improve a few key things:
• Lower body strength to increase force production
• Plyometric ability to develop explosive power
• Ground contact time to improve reactive strength
• Muscle tendon elasticity to better utilise the stretch–shortening cycle

All of this helps the body produce force faster and more efficiently, which is exactly what’s required for higher and more powerful jumps.

Mike’s original goal was just 3 reps, by week 3 he had achieved 5 reps and today at week 4 of his training block he hit 10 consecutive box jumps at the top height!!

This is what happens when clear goals, structured programming and consistent effort come together.

Huge credit to Mike for trusting the process with me and putting in the work every week. From 3 jumps as the goal… to 10 in a row.

Absolutely epic. 👏🔥

Gosh I love what I do!! 😍

Happy 10th Birthday to ! 🎉

So grateful to celebrate this milestone surrounded by such an incredible community of clients and members.

I feel truly blessed to be part of your journeys and I can’t wait for many more milestones together. 🙏

Here are some of my amazing clients helping mark this special day 🎂

If I could go back and speak to my younger athlete self, this is what I’d say… Not about how to win more but how to be more. Stronger. Smarter. Kinder to self. 🫶🏼

Embraced the opportunity and proud to share this moment with my children, family, friends and rugby community. The talent around me has set the bar high. Excited for what’s next.

Community this one’s for you…

I’m a big believer in always giving back to my people, so what better way to do so and invite you all to my weekly on field conditioning sessions.

How it works: I post a location, you bring your boots and we train together. It’s free & fun.

See you soon 👋🏼
