THE COACH / ANDY SMITH
COACHING BUILT ON THE DEMANDS OF SPORT.
Andy Smith has spent more than a decade coaching athletes and teams across sport. He also competes himself, so the work is shaped by both coaching practice and the realities of preparation.
With a BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy and an MSc in Strength & Conditioning, Andy brings clinical reasoning and applied sport science to the training floor. Programming starts with the athlete, the sport and the season, then adapts as the work progresses.

HOW THE WORK IS BUILT
Every programme Andy designs is shaped by:
- biomechanics
- sports science principles
- clinical reasoning
- real athlete data
- long-term development models
This ensures training is not only effective, but also:
- personalised
- technically sound
- progression-led
- sustainable under pressure
Whether it’s an elite athlete in-season, a club implementing a performance pathway, or an executive balancing training around high-level career demands, the approach remains the same:
clarity, structure and uncompromising standards.
EXPERIENCE ACROSS SPORT
Andy has coached amateur to international athletes and teams across:
- Cricket
- Rugby Union
- Football
- Squash
- Hyrox / Hybrid Athletes
- Endurance Sport
Alongside this, he has delivered long-term performance support for organisations including:
- Scottish Water Polo
- Scottish Touch Rugby
- Caledonian Thebans RFC
- Local clubs, academies and schools
His work extends to the corporate world, coaching business owners, directors and senior executives who require high-performance training that fits around demanding schedules.
COACHING PRINCIPLES
Andy’s coaching is built on four principles:
1. Evidence-Based Programming
Every decision is backed by research, data, and applied sport science.
2. Individualisation
Training is tailored to the athlete, the sport, and the season — no generic templates.
3. Technical Excellence
Biomechanics and movement quality drive long-term progress.
4. Performance First
Strength, speed, conditioning and robustness come before aesthetics — though improved physique is a frequent by-product.
