Originally from Manchester, England, Luke’s experience in Strength and Conditioning and his desire to educate as he coaches attract what many people are looking for. His time spent as a Division 1 Football Strength and Conditioning Coach taught him the importance of communication, expert instruction, and enthusiasm which works synergistically to bring custom individualized training. Luke strives to help all who he works with identify their weak points and turn them into strengths. His focuses are on strength and power development, corrective exercise, and proper movement and stability coaching.

Luke’s passion for exercise and training continues to grow as he endeavors to share his knowledge with others, and help them meet their performance goals while engaging in work that creates progression in all areas of life.

Luke strongly believes that participating in competitive or rigorous pursuits do not need to end after one is done with high school or university sports. In his free time, you can find him backpacking local trails, fly-fishing, hunting, and competing in local Strongman and Highland Games which Luke has podiumed numerous times (yes, he wears a kilt).

EXPERIENCE

• Strength & Conditioning Coach (Olympic Sports) Utah State University 2022-2024
• Teams: track and field, men’s & women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, golf, and gymnastics. 
• Research  Neuromuscular Lab at Utah State University: researched the efficacy of depth and countermovement jump parameters as a recovery monitoring tool following exercise-induced muscle damage. The primary objective is the examination of the efficacy of force plate GRF-derived data from depth and countermovement jump tests to track performance-reduced recovery following a bout of eccentric exercise.  
• Biomechanics and Sport Science Lab at Utah Tech University: studied Barbell kinematics and power with and without leg drive in barbell bench press lift. This study aimed to quantify the effects of leg drive on bench press performance. Data was collected using 3D motion capture and force plates.  

Nate moved from Boise, ID to Salt Lake City to study at the University of Utah where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health and kinesiology. After graduating, Nate gained valuable experience working in the University of Utah’s Sports Performance Department. During his time there he was assigned to work with the baseball, softball, men’s lacrosse, track & field, and women’s soccer teams. All teams had stellar seasons and showed successful player development. In March 2024, Nate joined SLC Strength & Conditioning as an assistant coach while continuing to work with the sports performance department. Nate quickly excelled in coaching with us and seeing his success with teams at the U made it an easy decision to promote him to a full-time strength & conditioning coach.
