We're thrilled to announce the arrival of Matt Wilson to our Performance Team.
He will join our performance team supporting our Elite, Development and Academy Teams with their Athletic Performance and Development.
Matt whose previous roles include leading the S&C provision for Harlequins Women and Ealing Trailfinders Academy briefly spent time supporting our Elite Men's and Women's squads in May.
On joining up formally Matt had this to say "As a young athlete the opportunity to develop in an environment such as EggChaser is a great experience. This is such an important time of development which can lay strong foundations for the sporting future and to play such a small role in a young athletes journey is such a rewarding experience. The skills developed throughout the academy are ones which will last a lifetime and assist in path to becoming the best athlete you can."
In follow-up ahead of the Safari Sevens, he had the following to say "This group has a lot of quality talent which has had some good success over the last few tournaments and the opportunity to join is an exciting one. Having been a part of the EggChaser and London LIT 7’s and having the opportunity to rejoin the squad for Kenya is one I’m looking forward to. Solo is a fantastic coach and working along side him is something I'm really keen to do. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in with the group and seeing what we can achieve over in Kenya."
CEO of EggChaser, and Lions captain Arun Watkins had this to say, "Matt is a fantastic coach, with a top class CV. He briefly spent time with us in the summer, and we knew it wouldn't be long until we welcomed him formally to the fold. To be able to offer world-class Athletic Development support to our Academy, Development and Senior players is something we're really proud to do.
