ABOUT BILL
-
I grew up in the small regional town of Bermagui, and moved to Canberra in 2019 to peruse a career in the fitness and rehab industry. I have been coaching at RealFITT since 2020, and in this time we have grown our Weightlifting club to be one of the largest in Canberra. I have coached alongside the Australian Weightlifting team at Continental Championships, and have had athletes win medals internationally. In 2023, I served as the High Performance Co-ordinator for Weightlifting ACT, and wrote the WACT High Performance framework. I work both as a coach and a physiotherapist, specialising in rehabilitation for barbell athletes. My hobbies include science, research and sport, particularly tennis, golf, skateboarding and rugby league. I have a keen interest in sports psychology and pride myself in taking a holistic approach with my athletes, focused on not only performance, but social engagement, enjoyment and wellbeing. My primary roles at RealFITT include running our weightlifting club and running our youth strength and conditioning program.
