S&C in Sports
As the current head of Strength and conditioning with St Patrick's Athletic Academy players James, and his team at McCrudden Fitness, values are aligned with getting the best out of their young members. It is important for young athletes to work off the pitch in a professional environment, where qualified trainers can teach and demonstrate correct lifting techniques, explain benefits and give youths the tools they need to perform to their highest abilities. We are privileged to work with several professionals to help them develop as athletes. Specific plans are developed based on the individuals needs. Get in contact today to discuss personal sports strength and conditioning 1-on-1 sessions. Watch the video below to hear James and Kian talk about the benefits.
Kian Corbally
Wexford Youths and former St Patrick's Athletics FC/ Republic of Ireland U19
"I trained 3 times a week with James
and the sessions were brilliant because they were specific.
We worked on a lot of things that I can bring onto the
pitch and which will benefit me. I was training with him
for 1 month and in just a week or 2 I could start to feel
big benefits, my technique was getting better and I was lifting heavier for more reps and sets.
All the exercises we done, he demonstrated them thoroughly to me so I knew exactly what I was doing."
Tiegan Ruddy
Former FC Sion, Switzerland and WNL Shamrock Rovers' player
"Working alongside James this season has been such a massive help for me on and off the pitch. In the gym he pushes me to be a better athlete and off the pitch he is always making sure that I’m mentally strong and ready for every game I play. The support James has given me has helped me to be fully focus on my football and has definitely improved me as a player and a person! A gentleman and a top coach."
