People behind
the power

Mike started coaching cricket in the early nineties, working with primary school teams and Canterbury Representatives at under-14 and under-15 level. Decades on, he is an assistant coach for the Old Boys Collegians senior squad and coaches table tennis at Christ's College.

Through the Unite Sports Charitable Trust, Mike is opening a training centre focused on power, strength, speed and agility — using cutting-edge techniques to develop high-performance athletes and prevent the injuries that sideline them.

With three teenage children, Ian is actively involved in sport at grassroots level and is excited by what the Trust can offer budding athletes.
