Hello

Hi my name is Shaun, I have 10 years experience in strength sports and high level athletics. I competed at AAA level as a junior sprinter and transitioned into lightweight strongman competing in the U80 division from 2013 securing a podium finish at England's strongest man U80. 

​

From strongman I transferred into powerlifting as the training was less time consuming and my overall goal was to be as strong as possible. In 2020 I totalled 657.5kg - Squat-220kg  Benchpress-147.5kg  Deadlift-290kg at a bodyweight of 86kg. Now I know what you’re thinking that’s not a world record or YouTube worthy by todays standards, but what if I told you I achieved all of the above whilst recovering from 2 herniated vertebrae, working 60 hours a week and being a new parent during the 2020 lockdown with only a barbell and plates training less than 1hr per session. 

​

Moving into my professional career I was a business owner at 25 building a business with a six figure turnover before choosing to pursue a different career path in retail. for the last 7 years I have worked for one of the largest food retailers in the country, building my career to executive manager level within 4 years. Managing between 150-200 members of staff and coaching a senior management team to achieve great results and career progression.

​

I understand for most people training goals and everyday life responsibilities often clash which can lead to frustration and disengagement, SV Coaching aims to balance the two with simple training methodologies leading to great progression in all aspects of life.
