Coaching Bio

I am a professional Rugby League strength and fitness coach and trainer with 38 years of experience in the NRL with the Wests Tigers, Sydney Roosters, Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers and Gold Coast Titans. I have also worked as a trainer at a representative and international level with the NSW State of Origin team and Australian Kangaroos. Prior to my coaching career, I played 35 matches for the Balmain Tigers between 1971 and 1975. I have always had a strong passion for Rugby League and helping athletes at all levels reach their potential.

I have been involved in the NRL system for over 50 years, starting as a First Grade player for the Balmain Tigers (between 1971 and 1975) before transitioning to a training role in 1986. I spent 38 years as a professional sports trainer, working with multiple NRL clubs, the NSW State of Origin Team and the Australian Kangaroos. Throughout my career, I have worked with some of Australia's top athletes, coaches and sports people. I am passionate about all things Rugby League. I can cater my coaching sessions to suit the goals of all individuals, whether that is focussed on rugby skills, fitness work or athletics.

Ron was exceptional. He was as engaged with our boys as I am sure he would be with any NRL side and the team learned a great deal.

This training session was amazing for Will. He really enjoyed the style of training from Coach Ron. Will was pumped after the session and responded well form all the valuable advice he received. Will played a strong game and scored 2 tries over the weekend. He has already improved with Rons help. I have booked another session.
