Hey friends,

I currently have two spots for face to face coaching that I'd like to fill.

Ideally, you:
- Want to train 1-2x weekly/fortnightly
- Want to work towards a performance event like a powerlifting meet, road race, triathlon etc
- Are self driven, but want the guidance and planning to reach the next step
- Want to achieve results without needing to throw away your entire life to do it
- Don't want to train with someone in their early 20s who doesn't understand your life, and who is only looking for a before/after IG post

Training background and experience doesn't matter. You're not too old or new.

IF this sounds like your situation, I'd like to hear from you. I am offering $0 consults right now for friends & family until this availability is filled.

I also have availability for one-off movement & technique consults for anyone dealing with nagging training issues or wanting to refine technique.

If you're on the fence, just shoot me a message, or peruse my bio here:

I reached out to Coach Sam to help with some rehabilitation over 5 years ago, and little did I know I’d still be training all this time later!

Hey gang. I said in 2026 I'm going to run my first marathon, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I've committed to raising $2500 for Beyond Blue, an incredible charity, so I can raise money for a cause near to my heart while running the Melbourne Marathon.

My first goal is to raise $200 in the next 10 days (!) so if you can spare a donation while raising awareness of mental health issues in Australia, it would mean the world to me!

All donations above $2 are tax deductible - if you'd like to make a sizeable donation as a business and be featured as a partner on socials content and merch in the lead up please let me know!

To say it's been a big year would be an understatement.

I'm on holidays as off 22/12/25 until 05/01/26.

For the next 24 hours, all new consult fees are waived - I have time tomorrow, so if you've been considering working with me face to face in the new year, reach out and let's find a time!

Want to work with me online?

You can apply on the link in my bio now, or follow along with my program at pursuitperformance.programs.app for just $40 p/month.

If you want to wait for 2026 to tick over, you're good - but if you're ready to get cracking, you're definitely the kind of person I love working with.

Enjoy some down time, legends.

POSITION > MUSCLE

A key principle to addressing movement issues is understanding that muscles are, by and large, slaves to position.

The skeleton acts, and the muscles react.

I rarely think in terms of which muscle is going to work when I'm addressing your deficit in movement, because that's going to first be dictated by the position you can create.

My goal is to use exercise variation to create a constraint that forces you to adopt a position where you have no choice but to use the appropriate muscles to achieve the desired outcome.

In each of these three squat variations:

1) Cannonball Squat
2) Hatfield Squat
3) Zombie Squat

The quads are the prime mover and take the bulk of the load - why then use any variation at all?

Because each of these places differing demands to the centre of mass, foot pressure, balance, and rib position relative to the pelvis.

My findings post-assessment will determine which variation of a movement I use with you to address your limitations.

If you're heavily extended and externally rotated, I won't select the same variation for you than if you were flexed and internally rotated - in either scenario I will address your squat pattern, but the positional demand will need to be relevant to you.

The bench press and deadlift are no different, nor is running, jumping, sprinting or landing - every issue is a positional issue first.

Your program will teach you how to move your body in space so that you can stop thinking about ephemeral and poorly explained concepts like mind-muscle connection, and simply get straight to working and innately feeling them.

Read this far and want help understanding and applying this in real time? I'm a DM away and am open for online & face to face coaching. Let's get to work 🙏

I know this Black Friday post is late.
I also know the Canva slides look like I made them in eight minutes while drinking an iced coffee.
Both of those things are true.

But the two offers are actually solid.

If you want face to face coaching with two coached sessions each week plus a program that makes sense, the Group Training intake is open.

If you want online coaching where you follow along with my weekly updated program for forty dollars a month, the Pursuit Performance Team is live too.

I might be late and the slides might be low effort, but the coaching will not be.

Every year I understand more how coffee and cake became such a fundamental component of my personality.

Happy Father's Day, old man!

After only 6 weeks of prep, crossed the finish line of the Sydney Marathon with a time of 05:03:00.

Prior to this, her biggest race had been a 10km.

She logged some serious miles to get here, completed her first half marathon as a training run, chucked a couple of tantrums and navigated a sore knee all to tick off a major life milestone.

Here's to the first of many, legend!
