Technical Mastery & Data-Informed Performance
High-precision strength coaching for athletes who value biomechanical oversight and psychological autonomy. Leveraging a background in Physics, a PhD in Mental Health, and the RTS framework to build bulletproof technique and sustainable progress.
Direct oversight from a WDFPF World Champion and International Referee.
The Technical Partnership
I partner with athletes who understand that strength is a skill. My coaching is not a “workout of the day”; it is a meticulous technical audit designed for those who value data as much as effort.
You are a fit for this model if:
You demand technical precision: You want your lifting audited by an International Referee to ensure world-class standards.
You value data-driven progress: You are ready to engage with RPE-based autoregulation and biomechanical feedback.
You seek athlete autonomy: You don’t want a “boss”; you want a high-level consultant to help you master your own performance.
You are committed to the process: You understand that elite strength is built through consistency, communication, and technical mastery.
The Intersection of Science and Strength
My methodology, Masters in Strength, is built on the intersection of Biomechanics and Performance Psychology.
With a First Class degree in Physics, I approach technique as a series of mechanical optimisations. I use data-driven analysis to map moment arms and force vectors, ensuring your leverages are exploited for maximum efficiency and injury risk reduction.
This technical focus is balanced by a PhD in Mental Health, allowing for a sophisticated approach to Athlete Autonomy and Stress Management. In the RTS-style model, we don’t just manage the weight on the bar; we manage the athlete’s cognitive load and readiness, ensuring that RPE-based training is both objective and sustainable.
As a WDFPF International Referee and World/European Champion, I provide the “Ref’s Eye” oversight necessary to ensure that every rep in the gym translates to white lights on the international platform.
Performance Frameworks: Specialist Technical Oversight
The Technical Audit | £120
International Competition Standards
As a WDFPF International Referee and BDFPA Technical Secretary, I provide a definitive “Ref’s Eye” audit of your competition lifts to ensure absolute platform legality.
The Diagnostic: A 90-minute technical evaluation of your Squat, Bench, and Deadlift against international standards, including a full audit of competition command compliance.
The Verdict: I identify “red-light” risks—such as deadlift ramping or squat depth—and provide a Physics-informed analysis of the mechanical breakdown causing the infraction.
The Roadmap: Every audit includes specific remedial recommendations and targeted accessory work to correct technical faults and secure white lights.
The Deliverable: A formal Technical Audit Report identifying exactly where your form is failing legality and the mechanical strategy required to fix it.
The Biomechanical Intensive | £75 / hr
In-Person Technical Coaching
Hands-on technical intervention in my private specialist facility. This is a targeted, high-intensity session focused on immediate movement optimisation and skill acquisition.
The Focus: Solving specific technical plateaus through immediate biomechanical intervention and command integration skills.
The Methodology: We utilise physics-informed constraint drills and supplementary exercises designed to amplify and expose mechanical inefficiencies.
The Outcome: By forcing the body to self-correct under specific tension, we develop the proprioceptive awareness needed to feel—and fix—technical faults in real-time.
Strategic Fix: Ideal for rebuilding movement patterns, mastering the physical skill of command timing, or athletes requiring elite-level oversight without a monthly commitment.
Performance Partnership | £190 pcm
Flagship Data-Informed Oversight
A high-frequency technical partnership for committed athletes requiring meticulous oversight. This is a dynamic, data-driven system built on RTS principles and elite technical feedback.
The System: Fully bespoke programming informed by your unique biomechanics, work capacity, and daily readiness.
Systematic Technical Audit: Continuous video review and technical oversight to ensure mastery remains consistent under fatigue.
The Psychological Edge: Leveraging a PhD in Mental Health to master RPE-based autoregulation and cognitive load management.
Weekly Performance Reviews: Systematic data audits and technical walkthroughs to provide absolute clarity on your progress and upcoming training adjustments.
Exclusivity: This tier is strictly limited to 5 athletes. This cap ensures the level of biomechanical and psychological oversight required for elite-level progress.
Why Masters in Strength?
⚖️
INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL AUTHORITY
As a WDFPF International Referee and BDFPA Technical Secretary, I provide a level of technical oversight that ensures every rep in training translates to white lights on the platform. I am a Level 2 Accredited British Powerlifting Coach, ensuring all work is grounded in national standards and safe, effective progression.
📐
BIOMECHANICAL PRECISION
A First Class degree in Physics allows me to treat technique as a series of mechanical optimisations. I map leverages and moment arms to identify—and fix—the mechanical root causes of technical breakdown, rather than just coaching the symptoms.
🧠
PSYCHOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
A PhD in Mental Health informs my approach to athlete autonomy and RPE objectivity. We use sophisticated load management and psychological oversight to navigate the cognitive demands of high-performance training, ensuring long-term sustainability.

THE SPECIALIST LABORATORY
Coaching takes place in a private, high-specification facility in Rushden. This is a dedicated, secluded performance environment designed for serious strength work, free from the distractions and crowds of commercial gym floors.
What My Athletes Achieve
Oli
Performance Partnership Athlete
“Latest PRs are 170/125/220, and I’m expecting to increase them all further… I would highly recommend Katie’s coaching to anyone looking to come back from an injury, compete in powerlifting, or just get stronger.”
Theresa McGouran
National Level Athlete | Technical Audit
“If you want to compete and are looking for good, sensible competition preparation and focus, try Katie. If you want to see your numbers increase, try Katie.”
Karen Precious
Biomechanical Intensive Client
“I felt safe getting stronger in a controlled environment. After a few months I was collapsing less… I can now deadlift more than my bodyweight.”
The Onboarding Process
1
Technical Enquiry
Submit your details via the enquiry form. I review every application personally to ensure my physics-informed approach aligns with your performance goals and current training volume.
2
Technical Strategy Call
If there is a potential fit, I will invite you to a 15-minute consultation. We will discuss your lifting history, injury profile, and your roadmap for technical or competitive success.
3
Framework Selection
Based on our consultation, we initiate your specific framework—be it a Technical Audit, a Biomechanical Intensive, or the full Performance Partnership.
4
Systematic Assessment
We begin with a deep-dive analysis into your movement patterns and data. For remote athletes, this involves a systematic video audit of your current technical execution.
5
Ongoing Oversight & Adaptation
Your programming evolves as you grow stronger. Through RPE-based autoregulation and technical audits, we ensure your progress is data-driven, sustainable, and platform-legal.
Note: To maintain the highest level of biomechanical and psychological oversight, I work with a maximum of 5 athletes at any time. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
