Martin GallyerStrength & Conditioning

A practitioner.
An educator. A collaborator.

I am Martin Gallyer, a strength and conditioning coach, sport science practitioner and educator based in Manchester, working across the UK, India and the Caribbean.

Applied experience.
A practical approach.

I have worked in performance sport for over 18 years, from grassroots talent development to international cricket and coach education.

I help athletes, coaches and organisations connect testing, training and day-to-day decisions. The starting point is your environment: the people, resources and constraints you actually work with.

Beyond the World Cups I have held S&C and Sport Science roles at Rotherham United FC, Coventry University, the University of Manchester (TASS), the University of Trinidad and Tobago, and developed a successful Young Athlete Academy. I have consulted on various projects with Cricket West Indies since 2017.

My international cricket experience includes Trinidad & Tobago's 2009 club campaign, Cricket Ireland at the 2010 ICC T20 World Cup and Cricket West Indies U19s at the 2020 World Cup in South Africa.
