Coaching Staff
Welcome to the Coaching Staff section of SC-P.co.uk
Unfortunately this website is still under construction so not all our Coaching Staff members are on here, but please check back for more information on SC-P.
Who is involved in SC-P
SC-P is run by several individuals all with a passion for sport and training. Each one has specific areas of expertise but all of which are very useful, especially when combined!
Founder and Head of SC-P
Simon Vardy -
Areas of expertise: Speed and Agility, Plyometrics, Weights Training (particularly free weights and power lifts).
Sports Focus: Contact Sports - Rugby, American Football, Aussie Rules. Basketball (especially plyometrics).
Qualification and Professional Memberships: Simon has many qualifications associated with the fitness industry. As a qualified gym instructor he has his Central YMCA Qualification, on top of this a Sports Nutrition Diploma and Membership to both UK Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. On a side note, a qualification that has proved useful to him in his time as an S&C Coach is his BAFCA American Football coaching qualification, linking that to his career in American Football gave him access to a wide library of knowledge that he can now pass on to others he coaches. Other qualifications he has includ management of Asthma in athletes, and is looking into specialising in hydration in sports, sports psychology and furthering his knowledge of biomechanics, all through the Human Kinetics qualifications, the NSCA's recommended Education center.
Previous and Current Work and Projects: Strength and Conditioning provides Simon with his major passion, working along side two American Football teams in the ASAP Yorkshire Rams at BAFL level and the Sheffield University Sabres at BUAFL level he has provide these two teams with comprehensive programmes that have helped these teams develop (see our Current Projects section for more details) and become highly competitive in their leagues (including getting several players up to NFL and NFL Euorope testing standard!). He is also in talks with two Rugby League teams in Sheffield and has worked with several individual athletes including fellow SC-P Coach and Ultra-Distance runner Jenn Dick.
On top of S&C coaching Simon likes to keep to the basic level to help people outside of the sports world. He works in two different gyms - S10 Health at Goodwin Sports Center, the University of Sheffields Sports Center (click here to visit their U Sport website) as well as SIV (Sheffield International Venues) through the Ponds Forge Fitness Unlimited chain of gyms. However, S&C is obviously his major interest.
