My name is Nic,
I am a Strength Coach, internationally recognised retired raw powerlifter, an IFBB bodybuilder (aspiring IFBB Pro Olympia competitor) and a university undergraduate studying biomed.
I work with individuals of all ages and lifestyles, helping them with achieving their goals.
Everything from:
Bodybuilding offseason and contest preparation.
Performance-nutrition coaching for various types of athletes (powerlifters, track & field, fighters)
General population coaching for body-recomposition (fat-loss and/or muscle growth).
I understand that each individual will have a set of skillset, environmental factors/ conditions and circumstances that are unique to them and in order to best achieve their goal, the approach taken must be mindful of this fact.
So when it comes to my coaching methodology, I understand that the most effective approach to take is one that is tailored to the individual.
No ‘cookie cutter’ approaches here at Universal Performance….
The individuals:
goals
prior training & injury history
personal preferences
are all taken into consideration when organising their training and nutrition.
Every change and adjustment made is done so with an intention behind it to yield a desired outcome.
Clear communication and transparency are encouraged held in high regards here, as without clear communication the infrastructure of the coach/client relationship is built upon will be weak and surely to falter like foundations of a poorly engineered building.
Over the years I have grown to understand that the best coaching approach should not only take into account the quantitative data available (most current research and findings in all fields relating to training, nutrition and recovery) but also the qualitative data (what has been found through personal experience with myself and my clients – what works in practice) as sometimes these two do not always align, despite both still bearing relevance.
So, here at Universal Performance, there is a large emphasise placed on the importance of considering both the empirical data as well as anecdotal findings to solidify the best approach for achieving the most ideal outcome and results every single time.
There are no ’Cookie cutter’ approaches ever taken here at Universal Performance.
