My experience with Kier so far has been 10/10. Kier’s sessions are always technically sound and physically demanding but what myself and I think a lot of the other boys find is that he makes them enjoyable. Having a likeable and personable S&C coach makes it easier to want to work hard and meet the demands of Kier’s more intense sessions.

In the past through my involvement with Swansea Academy, Wales regional etc. our S&C coaches are less interactive and more outcome based in the sense that they set certain exercises to perform and leave you to it. Kier on the other hand is great at identifying and working with smaller focus groups and delivering meaningful and scalable sessions and specific exercises.

From a fitness point of view, my muscular endurance has significantly increased since the start of the season. I now feel faster and more explosive throughout the course of the whole 90 minutes rather than just the first 45 and falling off in the second half, which is what happened frequently toward the beginning of the season.

Not only that but my psychological approach to strength and conditioning has improved, the enjoyable and purposeful sessions delivered by Kier has left me feeling more determined to continue this type of training. I’d 100% recommend training with Kier. He has the knowledge to build from step 1 or improve performance for the more intermediate and advanced athletes. He has provided position specific training for me from which I have seen significant benefits within my weekly performances. So without a doubt I’d recommend training with Kier.

All the praise in the world for the technical coaching and performance side of training but aside from that it has been a pleasure working with Kier so far from a mental side of things. His positive attitude inside and outside the gym makes it so much easier to want to work hard in his sessions, which inevitably leads to better development and benefits on the pitch.
