Strength & Conditioning Coach

Gary Pepperell

Gary leads the strength and conditioning (S&C) provision for our cricket, hockey and tennis programmes, aiming to reduce injury risk, increase athlete availability, and optimise performance. Alongside this, he also provides S&C support to other performance teams, including basketball, football and selected additional programmes.

Gary also works as an Athletic Development Coach at Bristol Grammar School and values the synergy between both roles, developing long-term athletic development in school athletes while optimising performance in university athletes.

His previous experience includes working as S&C Lead for the Canadian Sports Institute, Atlantic and the University of New Brunswick, where he supported athletes' success at major games and sporting competitions.

Gary has been coaching since the start of his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the University of Gloucestershire, and he thrives on seeing athletes succeed at all levels.
