As well as consulting and training the top athletes in the world, Phil provides the same expertise to all levels of sports person/sports team. From Nutrition seminars, or Two Day Workshops for teams or Personal Trainers/Coaches, to private 5 day internships, all of which are the best available today in the UK and Ireland. This is down to Phil's 20 years experience, in which he has worked with disabled people right the way through to Olympic athletes, Premiership football teams, and of course Phils impressive Rugby background where he has won nearly every title available. ..... The Nutrition seminars are jam packed with the most amazing information and explanations on why nutrition is so important.  If I told you the difference that Phil can give you through the information provided in this Nutrition seminar alone, you would never believe me. On every seminar i have attended with Phil, i have on numerous occasions, the top Personal Trainers in their field thanking me for the invite, and booking private internships to learn further. The two day workshops include a very much hands on approach. Phil will put YOU, the pupil through the various exercises, on the various different specialised equipment, so you know exactly how and why these exercises are performed. day one will involve an indoor session on equipment, whilst day 2 will get you out onto the field where again you will have the pleasure of being "put through the mill". From this you can then achieve the maximum results your clients desire. A private 5 day workshop will bring you in contact with the top professional athletes in the business. This is where you will watch and learn from Phil taking the top athlete's, from various different sporting backgrounds, including Football, Rugby, Golf, Boxing, Cricket, Track and Field, and the list goes on.

Please read these testimonials from very highly qualified and respected Personal Trainers: Richard McKeating Phil is probably the best kept secret in strength and conditioning, his story is an interesting one. Over the years Phil has seriously invested in himself, sacrificed countless hours with his family and has avoided temptation to splash out on things he doesn’t need in order to complete private internships with the world’s best experts... Read More Oliver Cummings Having completed a 2 day workshop and 5 day team internship with Phil in Dublin 2007, I couldn’t help but be impressed with Phil’s coaching style and level of knowledge. The immediate results I obtained with my clients inspired me to invest in a private internship. However, as I found out trying to schedule a week with Phil was not easy considering that a lot of the big names from the different codes of professional sport are all looking a piece of him. When I did eventually get slotted in for a week along with another trainer, Rich McKeating, it was a hugely educational experience to say the least, one that I will not forget...

There was so much information packed into those 5 days where do I begin... The knowledge gained from Phil while he was preparing the sessions for his athletes was invaluable.
