ABOUT US
Jock Athletic had its birth 20 years ago when two young aspiring Strength and Conditioning Coaches met in the early days of their university studies. Delayed by sporting commitments and career opportunities, Jock Athletic is now ready to mature. Jock Athletic is the brainchild of the former Australian cricket team's strength and conditioner Jock Campbell and former NRL strength and conditioning coach Paul Watson who, for 13 years, was a member of Johnny Lang's staff at the Cronulla Sharks and Penrith Panthers.
Jock Athletic is an innovative training company that will be the
first in Australia to incorporate a private Sports Academy in its
operations. Allied with it's unique Corporate Training, Group Training
and Personal Training, Jock Athletic intends to usher in an era of
lifestyle improvement and coaching that hasn't yet been seen in
Australia.
Jock Campbell is a world leading expert on physical performance, health, recovery and the travelling athlete.
He has spent the past 20 years perfecting and implementing the science and practicalities of performance - through university and industry qualifications, to training elite athletes in many different sports and performing in high level sport and then transferring this knowledge and experience to Olympic athletes, national sporting teams and the general population.
As a co founder of Jock Athletic, he is trying to reach as much of the community as possible to spread the health, fitness and physical performance message.
From November 2000 until November 2005 Jock was the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach/ Physical Performance Manager for the Australian Cricket Team. During this period the Team was World Champions in both Test Match (No. 1 in Test rankings) and One Day Cricket (World Cup winners 2003 and No.1 in World rankings); it was the most successful period in the team’s history. This culminated in the Team being voted Number One team in the World, (in any sport) at the the Prestigous Loreus Awards in 2003. During the 2004/05 season the Team also had its lowest percentage of injuries in recorded history! He has also worked with the NSW Cricket Team, Olympic athletes and gold medal performers in surf lifesaving, track and field, swimming, rugby league, rugby union, wrestling, gladiators, karate, boxing, netball and kendo.
