I am Jacob

I'm the CEO and Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at JAND Fitness & Performance Academy. Since 2011, I've coached everyone from children to elite athletes to move better, feel better, and perform better. In 2020, I was offered the opportunity of working with the Adelaide Crows and their Darwin-based players, which over the following few seasons included a grand final appearance and a premiership 🏆 

I specialise in running for runners and athletes of running-based sports.

 Let's take your performance to the next level!
