It's an incredible feeling to see hard work pay off. This is our Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Under 23 team after winning the KSCA Invitational Tournament. Being part of this journey and helping these exceptional athletes achieve their goals is why I do what I do.
I believe in teaching the 'why' behind every movement. Here I am at a plyometrics workshop, demonstrating a jump variation to a group of enthusiastic coaches and athletes. My goal is to share the knowledge I've gained so more people can train effectively and safely.
Working with the next generation of athletes at FC Madras is an amazing experience. This is a group shot after two days of intense fitness testing with the Under 13 and Under 15 boys. Their enthusiasm and raw talent show the bright future of Indian football.

About Strength and Conditioning

My Way of Strength & Conditioning

I don’t believe in just shouting out reps. I’ve been an athlete myself—ran track, played football, did my Masters in S&C from the UK—so I know how it feels to train with a purpose. My thing is to make those elite training principles actually work for you, whether you’re a pro or just someone who wants to stop pulling a hammy every weekend.

Who I Usually Train

  • Pro cricketers (I coach at TNCA, Nellai Royal Kings, Andhra Ranji)
  • Young footballers and tennis players from FC Madras and TN Tennis Association
  • General fitness folks and those “weekend warriors” trying to get stronger or avoid random injuries

How I Train

  • Everything is science-based—no “bro science”, just stuff that actually works
  • Start with assessments: FMS screens, Yo-Yo tests, 2km runs
  • Foundation is building strength and power (think squats, cleans, lunges)
  • Speed and agility workouts for youth and adults—sprints, plyos, direction change drills
  • Athlete injury prevention strategies baked into every session, not an afterthought

Beyond Just Lifting

  • We talk recovery as much as lifting: good warm-ups, cooldowns, nutrition basics
  • Mobility, foam rolling, sometimes even ice baths (if you’re up for it)
  • I’ll call out fitness myths—like why static stretching after lifting isn’t always the best

It’s simple: smart, consistent work, with a bit of fun. You’ll actually know the ‘why’ behind what you’re doing. Let’s get moving, la!

My Story

Gyms were my playground growing up – my dad’s Shanker Basu, so you can imagine. But I had to break out, so off I went to Leeds Beckett for my Masters, ended up living and breathing sport, not just reading about it. Now, I coach athletes, fitness newbies, and everyone in between. Off the field? I’m a sports nut and total anime/gaming geek – Chennai Comic Con was a blast! I mix that same passion and science in my coaching.

My Work

Strength & Conditioning, for everyone - We do one-on-one science-based strength coaching, athlete training, general fitness, nutrition, and online strength training consultations.

Who trains with us - Pro athletes, weekend warriors, or first-timers – if you’re serious, we’re in your corner.

No-nonsense, practical approach - We cut through fitness myths. Every plan is practical, custom, and rooted in real science.

Holistic athlete training - Training, sleep, recovery, food – it’s all connected. We explain the ‘why’ for everything.

Fun, not punishment - Work hard, play hard – tournaments, community, a bit of banter. It’s about enjoying the grind.
