Strength & Conditioning Coach Leiden

Strength & conditioning programming for competitive athletes in Leiden. Periodized, sport-specific, and built around your competition calendar. Designed and adjusted by a coach who has worked with CrossFit athletes, runners, cyclists, hockey players, and Olympic weightlifters.

Whether you're chasing a CrossFit Open spot, preparing for the Leiden Marathon, peaking for hockey playoffs, or coming back from an injury that broke your season, S&C is the work that connects your gym sessions to your sport.

In-person S&C coaching in Leiden launches in 2026. Until then, online programming is fully available, with weekly check-ins, performance testing, and a coach who actually reads your training logs.

How S&C Coaching Works for Competitive Athletes

Step 1: Performance Assessment

We start with a free 30-minute strategy call. I learn about your sport, competition schedule, current training, and what's holding you back. No commitment required.

Step 2: Personalized S&C Program Design

I build a strength & conditioning program tailored to your sport's demands, your competition calendar, your available training time, and your injury history.

Examples:

  • Marathon runner: heavy strength blocks in the base phase, lighter maintenance blocks during peak mileage, race-specific sharpening in the taper

  • Hockey player: rotational power, repeated-sprint work, lower-body resilience through a long season

  • CrossFit competitor: strength blocks before Open season, conditioning maintenance during competition prep, deload weeks programmed around your event dates

Step 3: Progressive Training Blocks

Your program is structured in phases:

  • Base building (foundational strength, mobility, aerobic capacity)

  • Strength blocks (heavy loading, power development)

  • Competition prep (sport-specific work, maintaining fitness)

  • Taper & recovery (arrive at competition fresh, not fatigued)

Step 4: Ongoing Adjustments

We check in regularly (weekly for online, every session for in-person). Your program adapts based on how you're recovering, changes in your sport schedule, performance testing results, and any injury or fatigue management.

Why Periodized S&C Beats Random Gym Work

You train hard but the lifts don't move

You're in the gym 4-5x a week but your squat hasn't changed in 6 months. The problem isn't effort. It's that the work isn't structured for progression.

You peak at the wrong time

You feel strongest in November and weakest in March when your event is. That's a periodization problem, not a fitness problem.

Injuries keep interrupting your season

Hamstring strains, shoulder pain, lower back issues. Each one costs you a month of training. S&C load management prevents most of them.

You're doing the same workout for years

Same 5x5, same tempo runs, same metcons. No progression, no variation, no peak. Just maintenance that slowly decays.
