Game-Back is a thinking framework, not a fixed sequence. We start with what the athlete needs to do in their sport, identify what may be limiting them and choose the most appropriate place to intervene.
What does the athlete need to do more effectively in their sport? This considers their role, sporting actions, competition demands and individual goals.
How does that need appear during training and competition? This may involve sprinting, changing direction, jumping, contact or repeated high-intensity efforts.
Which physical qualities could support it? Training may target strength, power, speed, movement quality or physical capacity.
Does the athlete have the movement competency, control and physical capacity needed to train and perform effectively?
Everything feeds back into sporting performance
Training then reconnects with the sport. The purpose is not simply to improve numbers, but to help the athlete express those improvements where performance matters.
We begin with the athlete, their sport and the problem or opportunity they want to address. Testing is only one part of the picture. Athlete feedback, coaching observations, training history and sporting demands also matter.
We define the objective, select the appropriate training methods and decide how the programme will fit around training, competition and recovery.
The programme is adapted to the athlete's training experience, development stage, schedule and injury history. Coaching may take place face-to-face, online or through a combination of both.
We assess what has changed, adjust the plan and consider whether physical improvements are transferring into training and sporting performance.
I'm a strength and conditioning coach with an MSc in Strength and Conditioning and UKSCA accreditation. I work as Head of Performance at Cork City FC Academy and as a Sports Scientist at Output Sports, and I've previously worked with Melbourne City FC, Cork City FC, West Ham United Academy, Cobh Ramblers FC and Cork GAA.
That work has taken me across youth, academy, senior and professional environments. What carries over to every athlete I coach, whatever their sport or level, is individual attention, evidence-informed training and clear communication about what we're doing and why.
I take a long-term view of development. The aim isn't just one good block of training; it's an athlete who keeps improving, stays available and can see how their gym work connects to their performance.
Club and organisation names describe professional experience only and do not indicate an endorsement of, or partnership with, this coaching service.
The foundations are the same whichever option you choose. How each part is delivered depends on whether you train face-to-face, online or both.
Progress is broader than one testing score. We build a clearer picture by considering several forms of evidence.
This approach helps us make better decisions without claiming that one test or training intervention explains everything that happens in sport.
