HENCHMEN Episode 16: Matthew
hen Matthew joined the Real World Strength Programme her was he was a beat up Goalkeeper playing Irish league football, with numerous injuries that were impeding his playing career and general quality of life. "It's the attention to detail from the coaches, they want to help you, it's more than just ...'let's go lift as much weight as we can.' It's like:
What are you eating?
How are you sleeping?
Where are you working?
What's your timetable like?
How's life?
Are you stressed, are you not?
Do you feel good?
When you come in here, you know that's on their mind.
I always feel like, if they don't stop you during exercise, you're doing it right. You work hard and if you're not, you will." Matthew worked hard and listened to his coaches during Small Group Personal Training Sessions, made full use of the recovery and regeneration therapies included in the programme and absorbed the nutrition and performance lifestyle guidance made available to him.
As a result, he increased his strength, wellbeing and resilience whilst working around and eventually rehabbing many of his preexisting injuries.
