Testimonials

“Rob has played a huge part of my personal and professional development since starting full time as a junior coach under his lead in Scottish Rugby. Rob has the ability to identify areas of need on an individual level whether it is; application and understanding of S&C, coaching ability, networking, communication or personal development outside of coaching. Over the last 7 months of working with Rob, I have become a lot more confident in coaching ability and coaching at various levels and my ability to communicate effectively with both athletes and peers. Using Rob’s guidance I have also starting expanding my network and gained the confidence to step out of my comfort zone to start my own personal S&C business.”

– Andy Murphy (Junior Academy S&C Coach at Scottish Rugby/Owner of Breakout Performance)
“Rob has been an excellent mentor in the past year for me. Instilling confidence and showing a genuine passion for wanting me to succeed. His knowledge, foundations and thirst for constant development have taught me to always challenge my own ways of thinking so that I don’t become complacent in my own development. Rob encouraged me to share and communicate my thoughts and feelings about subjects and never put himself above me and always made time to talk no matter how busy he was- Rob is a great leader and one of the good guys in this industry”

– Jake Peake (Move4Sport S&C Coach)
“Rob has been a great mentor and boss to me over the last year working at Scottish Rugby. He has been one of the best mentors I’ve ever had helping to develop me as a coach, a person, my other interests and personal endeavours. Rob is genuinely interested in making us better and helping us to be the best we can be. Robs passion for strength and conditioning is massive and even a brief conversation with him sparks a huge spike in motivation and hunger to work hard to achieve your goals. Rob is an expert in youth strength and conditioning and also people. He is a great leader and having him as a mentor has accelerated my goals and achievements to date. I couldn’t recommend Rob highly enough!”

– Scott Teister (Co-Founder of Athlete Performance Hub/ Scottish Rugby Contractor)
“I first met Rob during my MSc when he became one of my project supervisors for Scottish Rugby. Since then I have been able to rely on Rob for advice and feedback on several aspects of my coaching career. Whether it be guidance on programming for the athletes I work with or highlighting various CPD opportunities to improve my CV, Rob has been a massive help during my career so far. I definitely wouldn’t be as a good a coach as I am now without his help.”

– Lucie Milne (Dollar Academy S&C Coach, Stirling Country FC)
Rob’s passion for long term athletic development and developing young coaches is second to none and he truly is one of the coaches out there who can talk the talk but has certainly walked the walk. With a in-depth knowledge of the field he is able to digest that knowledge for you into bite size chunks that are easy to understand and more importantly apply.  There are few coaches I would go to for advice about coaching or how to further my development over Rob. He is a genuinely all-round good bloke with a welcoming and positive attitude. While he is effective at giving advice, this come from his exceptional ability to listen to others and learn about their particular situation and goals. In the time I have worked with Rob, I almost feel I don’t work for Scottish Rugby and that I work for him as he frequently communicates with me, drives standards and most importantly gets to know you and build a strong relationship.
