“Brendan Chaplin is one of the most talented Strength and Conditioning practitioners in the UK today. An exceptional knowledge of the latest training theories and practices linked to an ability to innovate and engage athletes of all ages and abilities is what sets him apart. To be operating at such a high level with vast and varied experience at a relatively young age makes Brendan a special talent in the industry. I would recommend any athletes go to work with Brendan, he is a man of skill, ability and the highest professional integrity.”

“Brendan Chaplin demonstrates all the key qualities needed to be a world class Strength & Conditioning Coach – he combines theoretical and scientific knowledge with fundamental coaching skills and has a well balanced approach to using traditional training paradigms with the latest innovations in athlete development. Most importantly he was able to use these skills to positively impact the development and performance of the athletes he supported in British Tennis”.

Dr Karl Cooke, LTA Performance & Player Support Manager

“The man they love to hate, The man that the lads love to moan at !!! It’s an unfortunate side of being a group physical conditioner. However, I personally found that the physical programme that we as a club undertook was both beneficial and stimulating. From pre-season programming to inception and continuity through the season, the work was variable and progressive. I found Brendan to be inquisitive, willing and wanting to learn, and on the back of this – adaptable and flexible in his approach and delivery.

I have no reason to doubt that Brendan can, and will push himself further in pursuit of personal goals in his chosen field. I’d like to think that I, and the squad of players under our wing, were, an albeit tiny, but positive stepping stone in that progression.”

“Brendan was my strength and conditioning coach during my time rowing at Durham University and then my mentor at the start of my S&C career. As an athlete I found his programmes to be progressive and targeted. He was always available and able to adapt the programme for my specific requirements.

As his assistant coach I found Brendan to be very knowledgeable and keen to help with my development. He showed me the foundations of solid programming and ensured that I developed the fundamental skills required in a good S&C coach. His work with the Team Durham High Performance teams was of the highest quality and all the teams displayed increased athletic ability and reduced incidence of injury.

His enthusiasm for continued learning and personal development was inspiring and is possibly the most important thing he taught me.

I hope to work with Brendan again in the future.”

“Brendan Chaplin is a Strength & Conditioning coach of high calibre. I have always been impressed by his desire for further knoweldge. Brendan is always keen to learn from other coaches. Equally he has the ability to critically evaluate both his own coaching and the work of others. This evidence based approach enables Brendan to consistently achieve excellent results with his athletes.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Brendan to any athlete looking to take their performance to the next level.”
