Book: Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman - Richard Feynman

 

"It has been six months since I started working with Paddy one-to-one and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. In December 2018, my weight was around 78kg and I am now in and around 79kg.

Our first port of call was to improve body composition. I saw great progress here very quickly, strengthening my whole body while also losing body fat. When we got to a body composition which we were both happy with, we then upped the calories and began working on sports performance which was specific to Gaelic football. Paddy has me working on 4-day gym programme (two upper-body and two lower-body) which is continuously tweaked depending on my specific goals for that time of the year in alignment with the football season.

I had signed up for many coaching programmes before, but the service Paddy and Triage provides really suits me and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. I think that the knowledge and health benefits I am gaining form the process will stand to me throughout life.

It has been one of my busiest years between work commitments and studying but the consistency I have developed in my training has really helped to structure my day, week and life in general. Weekly check-ins have kept me accountable and although adherence is not always on point, Paddy has reassuringly guided me in the right direction to try and improve for the next week.

His in-depth knowledge on all things health and fitness has helped me to improve all elements of my training and fitness. It is very reassuring to know that what you are doing and the advice that you are given is always taken from the most up-to-date research which the lads are engaged in. My body composition, strength and fitness have all improved a great deal since the journey began. These are aspects I have always found hard to balance and make progress in at the same time, while also training twice a week on the pitch and having a match at the weekend, but with simple and smart planning the improvement has been seamless.

Paddy’s knowledge meant the programme could also be tailored to my specific sport of Gaelic football. These improvements have benefitted me greatly on the playing pitch and I look forward to continuing to make improvements here.

Not only am I seeing improvement in my general health and fitness and in my chosen sport, I have become more confident in all aspects of life. Through the progress I have made in this area of my life, it has helped me to realise the progress I can make in many other aspects of life."
