William Darlington - Founder
An enthusiastic albeit somewhat unsuccessful child at sports I gained confidence and eventually found my sporting self through rowing in my late teenage years.
Having previously played a mix of team sports, mountain biked and ran cross country, I very quickly started to understand that rowing was going to be a key part of my life when I started in 2013.
As well as training at a performance level I rapidly found both great joy and satisfaction in coaching. Over the years my rowing coaching has transferred across multiple sports as well as more directly into the gym.
I also have a particular interest in athletic and sports psychology, how it affects development and performance as well as what else we can do to improve our performances whether it be better rest, nutrition or even breathing methods.
Specialisms include:
Coaching & PT (Rowing, running, rugby, handball, Strength and conditioning exercises, other gym work)
Programme development (for club/squads as well as individuals)
