I have known Martin personally and professionally for 10 years. Over the period he has proven himself to be an excellent manager with superb reporting skills. He takes full responsibility and accountability for projects and has never shied away from going the extra mile to ensure deadlines are met. Martin has demonstrated an excellent working knowledge of Strength and Conditioning, along with an ability to effectively manage people and lead on projects. Critically, he also possesses the ability to work across cultures. Martin is well placed to function across multiple areas including Coaching, Mentoring and Management.
Martin always hands athletes over in a much better condition than when he receives them. I would have no problem recommending Martin to any elite sport organisation.
Those attributes of having a wide-ranging knowledge of sport science, being an excellent and enthusiastic communicator and being able to convince people to do the right thing are some of the things that make him a great coach and someone whose input can make a great positive impact on the performance of a team or individual athletes from grassroots sport to the highest level.
Martin has a drive and passion for helping people learn and grow in the S&C industry. His knowledge, skill, innovation, and willingness to go out of his way to help others make him one of the good ones in this industry.
Martin is an old head on young shoulders. Confident, motivated, excellent communicator, calm and very knowledgeable. He is technical, practical and also finds creative solutions to issues — a rare combination.
I have been working with Martin on some projects. He is always encouraging and supporting me at any level. He is a well-experienced S&C expert at International level who inspires me and other coaches to be better.
Martin's knowledge, understanding and professionalism as well as his attention to detail and careful and caring progressions puts the athlete first, so that the athlete is working to develop her own abilities at her own pace — always being challenged to go further but not too far too soon.
Martin actively listens — one of his strong points as a coach. He has an ingrained ability to take the 30,000-foot view and consider all options before putting a plan into place. When we do not quite understand each other he just gives me a call — coaches online do not seem to do that as often as they should.
Martin Gallyer is a well-rounded Strength and Conditioning Coach and Expert Speaker. He is easy to work with, passionate about his craft and always delivers on time.
