Owner/Coach
Sport has always been a part of my life, from a young age I was involved in various sports from rugby to soccer to hurling. My rugby career really began in 2009 when I joined Young Munster Rugby Club which I spent 3 seasons with. I continued my rugby career in Australia where I continued playing senior rugby with Palmyra. While in Australia, my interest for coaching sparked. The opportunity arose to come home to coach and play with Navan RFC. What began as a backs coach position progressed to a head coach position - throughout my 8 years with Navan, we gained 3 promotions and I accomplished my IRFU stage 4 coaching badge. Covid offered me the opportunity to achieve my diploma in Personal Training in Strength & Conditioning, something I have always wanted to do. This furthered my skillset and allowed me to finally put my longterm goal into action and set up my own gym. With Fit Factory Roscrea, I wanted to create a community where people can achieve their goals while still having fun.
Coach
Having worked in the leisure industry for the past number of years, I have taken away valuable knowledge and experience. Different training and courses I have completed have also added to my experience and coaching mentality. I have always been keen on my own training and love to challenge myself personally which I believe benefits my coaching. I also encourage other members to challenge and push themselves as much as possible in the gym. If you don’t succeed on the exercise or a lift today, stop, recalculate, rethink, and try again tomorrow. So far, seeing the progress of the members in the gym has been unbelievable and I can’t wait to be a part of what is to come.
