Giacomo Bendoni

Over 6 years experience working with professional and amateur athletes both as a Strength & Conditioning Coach and a Rehabilitation Specialist. This includes teams such as Ospreys U16's, Swansea RFC and Harvard University (multiple sports). I am passionate about all aspects of human performance which has stemmed from my academic studies and personal experience as an athlete and coach. I was Head of the Medical Team for Winchester Rugby Club where I provided pitch-side medical cover, post-operative and injury rehabilitation whilst also liaising with the doctors and strength and conditioning team. I have worked with male and female athletes of all ages and abilities from Olympians, professional ballet dancers, semi-professional teams (Chichester City Ladies FC) and recreational individuals. In 2015 I completed a full-time strength and conditioning internship at Harvard University. I worked with a number of team such as ice hockey, lacrosse, swimming, wrestling and athletics; coaching National, International and Professional athletes.
