Strength and Conditioning for Professional and State-Level Athletes
Stop training just for the gym. I focus on the science of sport-specific movement to ensure your strength translates directly to the ground.
It was a great experience helping the Australian cricket team prepare for their test match in India. Here are players like Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon going through their strength routines in the gym.
In this podcast clip, I share my experience training the Australian team. They are very systematic in their training, but also know how to have fun and build a great team environment in the gym.
You have to be ready for anything as a coach. Here I am doing some part-time left-arm bowling to Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc during a net practice session.

Training is not just about the work, it is also about recovery and team bonding. Here is the Delhi Cricket Team enjoying a pool recovery session after a tough tournament day.
About Training Professional & State-Level Athletes
Most athletes build strength that evaporates the moment they step onto the field because they train for gym numbers rather than sport-specific mechanics. I focus on rotational power and sling-system activation so your training isn't just for show on a lifting platform, but translates directly into faster bowling speeds, harder hits, and improved agility during a match.
Bridging the Gap: Gym to Ground
Many athletes get stuck in generic strength cycles that don't account for the demands of their sport. Whether you are a cricketer, hockey player, or tennis pro, my methodology revolves around the 'transfer effect.' We don't just lift weights; we use sports science to build a body that can handle the explosive demands of high-level competition.
The Systematic Approach
My training framework is rooted in data, not guesswork:
- CAPE Protocols: Every program begins with Core, Accessory, and Prehab exercises. This isn't just a warm-up; it is active injury prevention designed to correct imbalances before they become career-threatening issues.
- Rotational Power Development: In sports like cricket, force must flow from your legs, through the core, and into your arms. I train the body's sling systems to maximize your efficiency in hitting or throwing.
- Performance Benchmarking: We move beyond feelings. With regular testing—from vertical jumps to agility drills—we quantify your progress and adjust your periodization cycles to keep you peaking when the season demands it.
Experience at the Highest Level
I have trained squads at the IPL and state levels, including working with the Australian cricket team during their tours. I bring that same elite-level discipline to my sessions in Delhi NCR and the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Whether you are prepping for a state-level selection or playing in a professional league, we build a roadmap based on your biomechanics.
If you are ready to stop guessing and start training with a clear purpose, let's look at your performance data and build a plan that gets you game-ready.
