Sahana Gopal
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Sahana's Bio
Strength & Conditioning Coach
I am a Strength and Conditioning (S&C) Coach, and have worked in elite sport for just over 4 years. I transitioned into Strength and Conditioning while doing my PhD in Bioengineering and Biomedicine, after which I moved into work with British Swimming (Diving), elite badminton and other recreational athletes. Over the years, I also developed a keen interest in working with female athletes, which led me to a research role in a technology start-up dedicated to training around female physiology.
My passion for S&C stems from being a competitive badminton athlete myself, recognising the critical need for strength and power in sport, which will not only improve sports performance but also mitigate injury. I enjoy working to optimise movement for better joint health, improving overall strength and for preventing re-injury. I have a keen interest in teaching Olympic Weightlifting for sports performance, and I am a certified mobility specialist with Functional Range Conditioning.
