This concept began as an outlet for exploring optimal human performance, as a blog, in which the aim was to decipher the overload of poor information online, in areas of training, nutrition and general health & well-being, to provide you with practical, evidence-based methods to utilise.
The aim still remains, but Elevate Performance has now expanded to offer services from a network of experts in the areas of Physical training, Psychology, and Nutrition all of whom employ an evidence-based approach to learning, and are passionate about applying that knowledge in their specialist area.
We understand that sustainable improvements to health & performance are achieved by the interplay of each many different aspects, so our mission is to offer a service that considers all areas of human performance and health.
We understand the whole person, and value the individuality of each one, so the mission is to cover all corners, from physical training, nutrition and mindset to offer a bespoke service that delivers sustainable results.
Founder and Strength & Conditioning Coach
I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Coaching & Performance and Master of Science degree in Strength & Conditioning (S&C). I am currently studying towards a PhD in Athlete Physiology at SETU. While studying towards these, I have provided S&C and sports science support to a range of people from general fitness enthusiast to professional athlete, in a wide array of sports such as GAA, athletics, martial arts, cycling, and horse racing.
My mission is to use the knowledge and experience I’ve gained through both playing and coaching sports – from inter-county Gaelic football, to competitive Brazilian Jiujitsu – to help improve the performance, health, and lives of other people.
My belief is that in training to sustainably improve performance or health, no single area should be neglected, and that no two people are the same. I believe that holistic training will yield sustainable results and individualised training will optimise those results.
Nutrition Consultant
I am a qualified and registered performance nutritionist and founder of Target Nutrition – an online nutrition consultancy based in Dingle, Co Kerry. I have completed certifications in food as medicine, disordered eating in sport, sleep, and psychology of behaviour from various institutions, so I understand the impact nutrition can have on the overall health & performance of a person and their life.
So far, I’ve been lucky enough to work with numerous club teams, Kerry GAA and top AFL side Geelong Cats.
I’m an evidence-based practitioner who believes that long term success lies in education and client empowerment. I seek to translate the science for clients and athletes and present it in an understandable manner.
I aim to help eliminate the confusion that exists in the area of nutrition as a result of social media, media, sensationalist headlines and those who are unqualified.
Sports Psychology Consultant
I am passionate about sport and helping people improve their performance and enhance their mindset for optimal performance.
After competing at international level in athletics I became extremely interested in the effect that psychological preparation for sport and exercise has on the athlete.
I have qualified with a BSc. in Athletic Therapy and Training from DCU and I am registered as a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT). I then went on to pursue an MSc. in Sports and Exercise Psychology at WIT and
I am currently completing a research PhD. in Sports Psychology. I have worked with team sports from GAA to rugby and hockey as well as a variety of individual sports including athletics and triathlons.
I want to equip people with the skills that can help them achieve their performance goals by looking at areas such as mindset, concentration training, and visualisation to name a few.
I want to help people to achieve to the highest standard they can by teaching them the benefits of training the mind as well as the body.

As connectivity and social media platforms grow worldwide, more and more people have the ability of sharing their thoughts and beliefs with the wider world.
With this, the biggest problem regarding nutritional advice offered online is that anyone can set themselves up and offer advice which leads to great risks and confusion.
I aim to help eliminate the confusion that exists in the area of nutrition as a result of social media, media, sensationalist headlines and those who are unqualified.
Consultant Endurance Coach
I have a first-class honours in BSc Sports Coaching and Performance.
Through my studies I have gained vast amounts of academic and practical experience within Talent Development, Sports & Exercise Physiology, Strength and Conditioning, Coaching Practices and Sports Psychology.
I am also a qualified Cycling Ireland coach working in a consultancy role with the organisation.
My primary role is an endurance coach for road cycling, time trial and track while providing support in multiple endurance sports from Triathlon to Athletics.
For as long as I can remember I’ve had a keen interest in sport and performance, from club right up to professional.
I am a firm believer that hard work, dedication and effective individualised training can help people from every walk of life achieve their goals.
My whole philosophy of coaching revolves around the development of self-sufficient athletes by aiding and educating them in every way possible along their journey.
I have worked with a wide variety of athletes from beginner right up to professional level and hope to have played a small part in their success along that journey.
