David Kennedy Reviews 25

David worked with me over a few months. He's ability to inspire and motivate are exceptional and I got such good results that I referred a group of six to him. He was able to individualise the programme to the needs of each person despite the fact that all were being coached and trained at the same time. All achieved better results than expected. I was most impressed with David's ability to assess individual needs, and develop programmes to improve the skill sets needed for each individual to achieve the goals set for them, and resolve issues causing reoccurring injuries. With his programmes, David has an innate ability to recognise what is needed both physically and psychologically in working with people which puts him way ahead of the average.

I’ve had the pleasure of being coached by David over many seasons since 2013. David’s attention to detail, commitment and enthusiasm is second to none. A master in his field, he had the ability to always strike the right note with a group of men who were always prepared to go to war for him. His focus on psychological preparation in sport is top class and in many ways he was ahead of his time in realising the importance of the mind in competition. A pleasure to deal with and someone I hold in the highest regard.

I worked with David in a team environment and found him to be a breath of fresh air. His attention to detail is second to none and his sessions were meticulously planned out. He also adapted the sessions by reading the energy in the room, adding more sets if the energy was high and vice versa. He was brilliant with guys that had no previous gym experience and was very clear and patient when showing them the proper techniques. He also adjusted the weights accordingly depending on ability so that nobody was lifting beyond their limits.
The sessions were very focused and this was due to David's ability to motivate people. He's not one to roar and shout. I found him to be very concise, he would say the right things at the right time with the right tone. He has a calm demeaner but when he talks, you listen. His ability to deal with people and understand what makes them tick drove our personal development through the roof. Even though we were in a team environment, he found time to supervise and speak to every individual in the group. This meant that everyone felt included and everyone got little nuggets of information, technique tips and personal motivation from him.
The results were clear to see. We were all in brilliant physical condition. But what struck me most is that mentally, we were stronger than ever before. His holistic approach of physical fitness and mental toughness had us ready to go through any obstacle in our way. He made us all believe in our ability. That is something no other coach has done and that is why I would happily recommend David to anyone.

David was the S&C coach for our GAA team but he did much more than working us in the gym, he helped bond us as unit, helped make us stronger both physically and mentally to cope with an intense playing season.
There was an overall plan but David adjusted to our needs depending on our training load and helped us recover to prepare for the next challenge.
David communicate each instruction in perfect detail, overall all an excellent guy to work with.

Having worked with David for several years I can highly recommend him as a trainer. He brings dedication and discipline to his work which helps motivate and encourage others.

His high level of commitment and trustworthiness is rare, and that in tandem with his people skills ensures everyone is on the same page and achieving their individual goals.
