Henry Davies

Biography

Hi I’m Henry, the founder of Integrate Sports. I am a UKSCA accredited practitioner with 10 years’ experience supporting youth and elite athletes from a range of sports and backgrounds. I have worked with world champions and Olympic medallists and recently prepared athletes for Tokyo 2020 in my role with the English Institute of Sport. I am also a lecturer in strength and conditioning at Hartpury University, where I teach across a range of programmes.

I believe that aspiring athletes deserve the opportunity to gain access to elite-level training programmes, to bring you closer to your ambitions. I understand the challenges faced when seeking out high-quality strength and conditioning as an aspiring athlete, and so I set out to provide a solution to this.

My philosophy is that relationships are at the heart of coaching, so I take a personal approach to working with you. Developing trust is a central component of this, so I will do everything I can to support your ambitions. With this in mind, I approach coaching with a long term view. I believe in this approach because the longer a coach and athlete work together, the stronger the understanding and trust becomes. Ultimately this means that we can go further together.
