Profile
Steve has worked full-time in Sports Science since graduating from the University of Brighton in 1996, working with multiple Olympic and professional sports providing physiological support to over 30 World Championship or Olympic Medalists. Steve held the post of Senior Sports Physiologist and later as Sports Science Manager at the Olympic Medical Institute (formerly BOMC) from 1998 to 2004, where he led the physiological support programmes for the Olympic rowing, track and field athletics and bobsleigh teams for numerous major Championships events including the Sydney and Salt Lake City Olympic Games. Steve then managed the acclimatisation programme for TeamGB to the Athens Olympic Games. In 2005, he became the Lead Physiologist at the English Institute of Sport Performance Centre at Loughborough University, overseeing programmes in triathlon, canoeing, swimming and disability sport, whilst leading support in track and field athletics. Along the way Steve has completed a PhD in oxygen uptake kinetics and performance from the University of Surrey, Roehampton, acquired BASES High Performance Sport Accreditation, BOA Registration and NSCA Certification in Strength and Conditioning. Steve was once a track sprinter in the men’s national athletics league – but those days have sadly gone by!
