About Eoin Scullion I possess a very keen interest in strength and conditioning coaching for rugby union and Mixed Martial Arts. This has been developed through numerous years competing in rugby and my interest in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, specifically. My goal is to own a facility catering for everything high performance; nourishment through nutrition, strength training, conditioning and recovery suite. I am still developing my practical application of coaching through volunteering roles and owning a coaching business. I am committed to the "10 pages a day" of improving my knowledge on leadership and all things strength and conditioning. I envisage to provide some value through this blog to aspiring coaches and established coaches alike. We can all learn from each other and we should all be working towards the same goal; Making Athletes Better.
