Comments from Darren

As a professional footballer I am always looking for ways to improve my game which will give me extra percentages on the field in a very competitive sport. Working with John has provided a cutting edge dimension to my fitness level which will set me apart from my competitors.

Comments from Trainer

Working with an elite sports performer is always a challenge as the opportunity to make big differences in their performance is not so easy as they are already at the top of their game, typically as Darren puts it we are looking to facilitate changes that allow for those ‘extra percentages’.

With Darren the HFPT Optimum Results Model was a basis I used for many of our discussion. Darren and I discussed changes that could be made to his training program, fueling/eating as well as his recovery. The view was if some positive changes could be made in each we could grab some of those extra percentages. Darren currently reports to be feeling ‘sharp’ after making some of these changes.
