Testimonials

Andy Lindley
Andy Lindley Head of Youth Development, Wales Rugby League

Andrew Watson
Andrew Watson Aston Martin – Blancpain GT
During my season driving for Strakka Racing – McLaren GT in the Blancpain GT championship, Dean was a highly valued member of my race team. He challenged to improve in the gym, oversaw my race hydration, nutrition and importantly my recovery between race stints. I really value his help and the banter made the whole season more enjoyable!

I have been training with Dean for over 6 months now and every session has been a real pleasure. Dean has pushed me out of my comfort zone by introducing new and challenging exercises with each session. After injuring myself, Dean was able to liaise with my Physiotherapist and put in place an agreed rehab program to get me back to full function.

Working with Dean was personally the best training experience I have had whilst training as an athlete. He really pushed me to my limits in a fun and challenging way, and I saw improvements in my mental and physical toughness as a result. Whilst under his wing I was lucky enough to compete in the Commonwealth Fencing Championships in Cape Town where I won a Silver Medal, and I credit Dean’s training strategies as part of that success. He truly is a great guy and will listen to your goals and help you achieve them in the best way he can.

I had the chance to work with Dean for the whole of the 2017 & 2018 season with Strakka Racing – Mercedes AMG. Dean was always ready to keep me in top shape and in a good fresh condition ready for the next stint. In endurance racing it’s crucial that we are in the best possible condition as we give our all behind the wheel. I had some great races last year and part of that was the recovery protocols Dean implemented for me. Dean and his team really saved me at times as I can become quite dehydrated in the car and had struggled previously with muscle cramps. Dean insured I was able to perform at my best in the most difficult of conditions leading to podium results for the whole team.
Maxi Buhk

The partnership with Dean was a level of Race Support I had not experienced before. Dean and his team always provided everything a driver needs in preparation to get into the car as well as taking care of recovery when I got out between race stints. Dean was always there for the drivers whenever we needed treatments or specific advice. Dean always created a friendly atmosphere. We had great chats and a good laugh which I really enjoyed!

My year working with Dean was also my first season in Sport Car Racing. Going from open cockpit single seaters to closed cockpit sports cars was a new challenge where I faced different physical aspects that I hadn’t faced before. The temperature in GT’s could reach in excess of 50 degrees which I found hard initially, but working with Dean away from the track really helped me prepare for these climates. Dean was right there when I needed him at the track keeping me hydrated and in good physical shape to ensure I recovered well and was ready for my next stint.
