I find it extremely difficult to determine Carl’s greatest asset as he bring so much experience, expertise, knowledge enthusiasm and passion to whatever he is involved with. However it is without doubt his qualities as a person that allows him to deliver the above attributes. Honesty, loyalty, understanding, drive, focus and connection go part of the way to what Carl brings to any environment. This man was once a British Shot-Put Champion and Great Britain International Athlete, he has worked with Olympic Champions, World Champions and World Record Holders. In 1997 he accepted the role as Head Strength & Conditioning Coach and since that time has been involved at the very highest levels across the globe. While his resume is certainly hugely impressive, the athletes he has mentored and transformed into world-class high performers is absolutely mind blowing. If you are interested in high performance for your organization, team or as an individual I strongly suggest that you connect with Carl to see what he will bring to the table. I say with complete confidence that after one meeting you’ll want Carl on board” Todd Blackadder Rugby Head Coach Crusaders Super 15s Former Canterbury Crusaders & All Black (captain) Carl Came to work for the Crusaders Super 15’s in 2012, he introduced a tough training regime that the players responded well too, although he only spent a year at the Crusaders he made a positive impact on all he worked with, He has an excellent depth of knowledge and experience that is crucial at the highest level of sport performance. Page 2 Brian Noble Football Manager Toronto Wolfpack Rugby League Head Coach Bradford Bulls, Wigan Warriors, Great Britain. Most successful English rugby league coach in history "What can I say about Carl Jennings?.. Well for me he'll always be the one that got away!!!!As a newly appointed Head Coach at a very successful Bradford Bulls, I lost Carl to the NRL in Australia, a challenge that Carl and his great family took on for all the right reasons! Carl was the head S & C at the Bulls and an integral part of the success that had been built there. I have desperately tried to get him back and employ him in all the professional rugby environments I've since been in. Why? As a conditioner, strength coordinator, coach and mentor he is world class. He is an ideas man, a practitioner, an energy barometer and first class person. I have relied on Carl for help and advice for the past 15 years because I know I will get an honest answers," out of the box" thinking and a fresh approach and outlook to any given situation. Carl offers so much. He gets people and players ready for the challenge, individually and as a collective, he's adapted to different sports (&conquered them) and has been fresh and new in his delivery. His expertise is unquestioned. He still challenges science to get the best results for a group and his "expert" knowledge allows him to do so. He has the uncanny ability to find a "measuring" system better than most, and unusually (for a scientist) understood by all!!His team ethic and ability to feel a work place is invaluable. Getting Carl is so much more than employing an S&C guy, you have the science stuff in spades, he's a clever man. You get an unbelievable ball of energy and team person that answers questions and mentors your group. I can't wait to one day work with him again! Page 3 Professional Athlete Testimonials Petero Civoniceva Rugby League Hall of Fame Australia Queensland Brisbane Broncos, Penrith Panthers The first forward in history to play 40 internationals for Australian. “I worked with Carl during my time at the Penrith Panthers Rugby league Club between 2008 and 2012, I arrived at the Panthers as a 31 year old, with many believing I was past my best and the end of my career. Carl’s systems of training enabled me to continue to maintain elite levels of athletic ability, I believe I played some of my best football during my time at the Penrith Panthers, I also gained selection for Queensland and Australia. In 2009 during the second State of Origin game I suffered a season ending foot injury, I had to sit out the remainder of the season It was during this time Carl really showed his expertise as a Strength & Conditioning coach, he devised a training program to get me back to fitness in the hope I gained selection for the end of season Four Nation tour. Many thought this would be an impossible task due to the severity of the injury, we worked together during early morning arduous training sessions. I was only capable of performing running drills a few weeks before the first test against New Zealand but the testimony to Carl,s gym strength and fitness program was that I passed the Australian Running based team fitness test and gained selection for the first international test match against New Zealand, I subsequently went on to play in all the following test matches during the tournament including the Final against England which Australia won 46 -16, during this game I became the first forward in history to play forty internationals for Australian. I highly recommend Carl to any sports team or athlete that wants to reach their potential”. Owen Franks Rugby Union Crusaders Super 15s All Blacks I worked with Carl in 2012 when he became Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Crusaders. After a heavy work load in 2011, off the back of the All Blacks World Cup Victory, my body was pretty beat up, Carl worked closely with me to help get my Page 4 body back into shape so I could perform at my best. He studied the position I play in rugby (prop) and helped developed an individualised programme that was going to suit me for my position... I noticed a significant difference on the field and in the gym, after only a short time working with him.
