Andy White, Director of Athlete Focused, shared his thoughts on this new partnership, “We are extremely excited to start our new partnership with Uddingston. From our previous work in hockey, we are very aware of the great work they have been doing on and off the field, and we are pleased we can work with them as they continue to develop.

Over this season, we hope to help the club be successful and support players across all the senior teams to be better than before. Gareth has a clear understanding of performance sport and his drive to improve the individual players and teams aligns with our values and vision. Looking forward to the season ahead!”

Gareth Ikin, our Director of Hockey at Uddingston HC added, “It is fantastic to be able to partner with Athlete Focused for the delivery of our Fitness and S&C provision for the season ahead. A professional and award-winning company that puts the performance and development of the athletes at the heart of what they do, from short-term conditioning to long-term programme planning. Using their experience they have gained both within hockey and working within other elite sports environments, we look forward to seeing this partnership harnessing the drive and passion of the players and the club for physical improvement and continue to take everything that we do at the club to the next level.”

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Uddingston Hockey Club. By collaborating with Athlete Focused, we are investing in the future success and well-being of our players.
