About Darren:

"I am an accredited S&C coach (CSCS & ASCC) and have been lucky enough to work in academy football, tennis and badminton. Growing up playing badminton as my main sport has fueled a particular interest in racket sports and enhancing athletic performance within this domain. Since working in S&C full time, I have transitioned into academia and I currently work as the Deputy Head of the Sport and Nutrition Department at University College Birmingham (UCB). My roles at UCB have afforded me fantastic opportunities to work with athletes across various other sports including golf and basketball, as well as with match officials. I am privileged to teach on both our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in strength and conditioning. This is highly rewarding and I am passionate about ensuring learners acquire the necessary skills for success and develop into well-rounded professionals, whether they choose S&C or opt for alternative career pathways. I am committed to providing an excellent student experience and seeking out opportunities to enhance experiential learning."
