“I had the pleasure of playing for Brunel Men’s 1st team for a couple of years before turning professional and Jason led the S&C for that time. Whilst previously it was an area that was hugely neglected, it was very impressive how Jason introduced it to the club, co-ordinated the whole delivery & made it into a fundamental aspect of our success.
His abilities to coach individual players and implement specific training methods to improve the physicality of all of our team was superb and would not look out of place at any level of the professional game. I noticed significant improvements in my strength after working with Jason, in particular the strength & power in my legs and core and the way I was able to harness it on the pitch. Impressively, this in no way hindered my speed either.
Being given the opportunity to represent EPA is so exciting because I have no doubt the coaching packages they offer will improve the entire match performance of ALL their players!”

“Jason Rye is an outstanding professional who understands the details involved to make athletics excel. In my role as head coach at Brunel University, Jason led the strength and conditioning and it was noticeable to everyone involved in the organization that the fitness levels of all players improved weekly after working with Jason.
I could not recommend Jason higher as both a professional coach and a person, someone who truly cares about their athletes is rare and Jason wholeheartedly ticks that box alongside his expertise. In my role now coaching high-level players in American college football, I would have him lead the S&C for this calibre of player in a heartbeat. If you are lucky enough to become one of his athletes you will certainly reap the rewards.”
James Best
First Team Analyst
Watford FC
“I had the pleasure of working with Jason on two occasions. He coached me during my final year at Brunel University for the Men’s Football team, conducting the weekly S&C sessions but then later we worked together during his 2 seasons as part of the sport science team at Watford FC. Being witness to sessions he conducted as part of the team at Watford it was apparent how much experience he had in terms of exercise prescription and coaching techniques and his knowledge of how the human body functions was clear. Aside from his actual coaching, the way he conducted himself around the training ground and his naturally friendly yet decisive nature was perfect for working with the players.
Jason is very professional and it shows in his sessions by how expertly they’re executed, with the knowledge and thought going into the them being first-rate.”
Elliot Whiteside
Academy Sport Scientist
AFC Bournemouth
“Jason carried out the S&C delivery for Brunel University AFC 1st team as well as coordinating it for the entire club during my three years at the university. From first-hand experience the sessions were fun, innovative, competitive & challenging, really getting the best out of every single player. Although the set-up and provisions were on a small scale compared to the professional game the determination and dedication to get S&C into practice was second to none and Jason’s work at the forefront and behind the scenes cannot be faulted in the slightest. Undoubtedly the introduction of S&C improved the club at every level.”
Samuel Packham
Centre Back
Combinations County Football
“Jason coached me in the 2016/17 season at Brunel University. He coached weekly S&C sessions and attendance was vast, which says a lot about the session! The sessions focused on core strength, footwork and power, all ideal for improving football performance, with the use of innovative games and competitions to enhance competitive nature of the session.
Personally, I benefitted a lot from the power development focus. Being a centre back I need to be able to jump higher than the attacker to win headers and accelerate quicker to gain an advantage over my opponents. I really noticed a difference in this aspect as well as my general fitness, with the improvement showing in my performances.
Jason is a very engaging coach and had the players bought in from the start. His instructions are clear and concise. The way he conducts himself is very professional and the knowledge he displays is second to none. I highly recommend Jason to anyone who wants to improve their physical capabilities!“

NCAA Division II 2018 National Champion
“Jason’s sessions are creatively designed to not only enhance your physical attributes, but simultaneously incorporate improvements in the technical aspects that are so crucial at the highest level. The various movement patterns he programmes in replicate those required on the pitch and it is obvious that he has played and actually coached football for many years with his knowledge of this.
I had never given much thought to fitness training beyond my usual training before but once I engaged with the S&C sessions I realised just how important it was. Within just a couple of months the way I was able to hold players off and easily beat them for pace was astonishing.
Jason has the perfect mix between know-how and humility that was the recipe I needed to push my performance to the next level, all whilst having fun doing so. The S&C sessions definitely assisted in securing my scholarship to American college football.”
Nathan Thomas
Lead Foundation Phase – Youth Teams
MK Dons FC
“Jason worked with me from August 2016 to May 2017 during my time as Head coach of Brunel men’s football team as lead S&C coach. Jason was responsible for establishing and maintaining a strength and conditioning program for 60+ players with three major goals of improving athletic performance, reducing athletic injuries, and teaching lifelong fitness habits.
Jason is self-motivated, perceptive person with excellent interpersonal skills whose S&C sessions delivered were bespoke, engaging and cohesive to individual players. Sessions were meticulously planned and tapered around the fixture schedule and whilst always fun, pushed the athletes to their maximum. It was a pleasure to work with a club of players who all understood and indeed reaped the benefits of a stringent S&C programme. This was done through Jason’s coaching and education.
His skill set and knowledge allows him to work at all levels of athletic development from semi pro to the elite athlete without compromising the values and belief of that individual & I would highly recommend Jason as an S&C Coach at any top level of football.”
