There was a reason behind every part of Damian's approach, and each day was tailored towards every individual player's needs, something that benefitted me greatly, helped me play until I was 38 and the team to three consecuctive top ten finishes in the Premier League.

Damian had a very distinct plan of how to prepare the team for success. From Pre-Season training to weekly load management, his philosophy helped to create a professional environment centred around keeping players healthy.
Jordan Morris
Seattle Sounders and USA
Damian's philosophy and training methods will be at the forefront of my mind as I move into coaching and management. It's no coincidence that my time working in this way was the most successful period in my career and the fittest and freshest I have ever felt.
Jonathan Walters
Stoke City and Republic of Ireland
Damian helped me understand my body and how to train maximally to withstand the demands of the game. Thanks to him and the methodology he uses, the older I get, the better I feel physically to continue to perform at the highest level.
Osvaldo Alonso
Seattle Sounders and MLS All-Star
I have been at big clubs and worked with some great coaches, but this is the best and most professional approach to preparation and training I have ever experienced.
Craig Bellamy
Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City and Wales
Damian came in with a philosophy, implemented it and made us better. He played a big part in us winning the title.
Garth Lagerwey
General Manager, Seattle Sounders FC
Under Damian's management I played 37 out of 38 Premier League games, something I have not been able to achieve since. I am a big believer in his methodology, and like the energy he brings. I am delighted to be working together again.

Damian introduced his 'blueprint' of how we should train that kept every player injury-free and feeling fantastic. Our performances reflected that, particularly at the end of the season. As soon as we moved away from that it started to go wrong.
Ryan Shawcross
Captain, Stoke City
Damian has had a huge impact on the success of coach education in Wales over the years and we still draw upon his knowledge and pay reference to his approach to training on all of our courses.
