Sean’s Bio

I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University. Prior to joining the team at Central Performance, I spent 10 years as a member of the Australian Rowing Team, where I won multiple World Cup and World Championship medals.

Following my retirement from elite rowing, I transitioned to compete in trail running and both standard and long course triathlon events. My background in high-performance sport gives me a unique understanding of injury management, performance optimization, and athlete development across a range of disciplines.

I’m passionate about helping people of all levels to move better, recover faster, and perform at their best — whether that’s on the world stage or just getting back to doing what they love.

Interests:

Throughout my athletic career, I’ve been exposed to high training volumes and intensities, which led to my fair share of overuse injuries. This experience sparked a strong interest in load management and injury prevention. I’m passionate about helping people continue training as much as possible while managing injuries, and using strength and conditioning to build resilience and prevent recurrence.

Something Fun:

I’ve just returned from doing a winter season in Canada, where I taught myself to ski!
