Ben is a team first practitioner, his ability to connect with all the key stakeholders, from players to backroom staff to kitchen employees ensures that you always want to give him your best.
He is one of the best coaches I have worked with and I have learnt so much from him as a mentor. His knowledge on establishing the demands of the game using technology to the practical application of the data to optimise the program is world class.
Over a year down the line I am extremely lucky to still call him a mentor and someone I can turn to professionally. His passion to see others excel and push themselves is testament to his character.
