THE COACH
David Jackson is a UK Strength & Conditioning Association accredited coach. With fellow S&C expert Tim Stevenson, he runs oneathlete.co.uk – a coaching outfit that combines their knowledge of S&C, calisthenics, physiotherapy and mental strangth training.
Jackson’s 13-year career as a professional rugby player was brought to an end by a head injury sustained during training. Looking for a new focus, he concentrated his efforts on the challenge of combining skill and strength to control his own bodyweight. Jackson now uses his passion to help mere mortals to mix gymnastics with their traditional strength training and bodyweight exercises. Follow his advice and you’ll soon be on your way to developing total mastery of your body. You’ll also have a lot of fun. Lifting weights isn’t for everyone, but there can’t be many people who don’t fancy the idea of being able to walk on their hands.
