  Strength and Conditioning Coach

  As of January 2015 I have been working with Salle Paul Fencing Club. This role involves supporting the head coach with S&C sessions for the most talented young fencers in the club (aged 13-17). I work closely with the fencing instructors to coordinate training plans. The group consists of 4 boys and 2 girls, one of which includes a fencer who is representing the club on international level. Adolescence is a crucial period in athletic development and S&C plays an important role particularly in supporting performance and mitigating the risk of injury. I initially tested the participants against the Fitness Prerequisites for International Competition Selection. This testing included unilateral SBJ, change of direction speed and repeated lunge ability. Following that I developed periodised training routines for the six fencers according to the Long Term Athlete Development model whilst taking into account gender differences. The programme included exercises such as back/front squat, Olympic weightlifting derivatives, unilateral exercises and plyometric drills. It resulted in overall strength, posture and mobility improvements and a reduction in muscular imbalances generated by the nature of the sport. I also focused on addressing typical movement dysfunctions observed in teenagers in accordance with National Academy of Sports Medicine guidelines. All of the trainees were subsequently selected to be part of the GB talent path. Show less
