From an academic perspective I obtained a postgraduate teaching certification at Southampton Solent University in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and achieved Senior Fellow status with the Higher Education Authority. 

At Southampton Solent University I was the course leader for the CIMSPA endorsed BSc Sport Coaching degree for 8 years taking the course through three rounds of revalidations. I also proposed, designed, validated and led the MSc Strength and Conditioning attaining course accreditation with the IUSCA in its first year. I also proposed, designed and validated BSc (Hons) Strength and Conditioning degree.

I led a placement year module across multiple courses for nearly a decade and supervised student research projects at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I have co-authored two book chapters on fitness for football for Routledge publishers and contributed to various magazine articles, such as Men's Fitness. 

I am a certified L2 British Weightlifting Coach and UK Athletics Coach and an accredited S&C coach (ASCC) with the UKSCA, maintaining Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with the NSCA, also EXOS Performance Specialist, and many more.
