“I think any young athlete in the area who wants a bespoke training program and a good man to lead them through it, should look no further.”

The Methodology
With 15 years of experience, I have learned to avoid unsupported misconceptions and instead focus on evidence-based strategies to guide and mentor each athlete along their unique sporting journey. I prioritise the development of fundamental movement skills, speed and agility, injury prevention, and strength training.
My goal is to provide a comprehensive and effective training program that is tailored to each individual’s needs and abilities of the group or team.

I would highly recommend Positive Performance to anyone looking to develop and maximise their child’s athletic ability. My own son Sam has worked closely with Mick for a number of years predominantly in the off season to improve his running technique, speed and agility. The sessions are always enjoyable but focused and the improvements have been translated into better performances on the pitch. The recent Strength Workshop was excellent with the Positive Performance Team delivering an introduction to weightlifting, focusing on form and function along with advice on diet and nutrition.
Mick is approachable and knowledgeable and always willing to assist and advise on what an individuals needs. I believe that Positive Performance is the best in the business and have no hesitation in providing this testimonial.

His tried and tested methods always deliver results. More importantly he is a coach who cares about every athlete he works with which is why he is so highly regarded by a number of current top elite professionals in a range of sports.
Bio - Mick Turner
Athletic Trainer
Although primarily regarded for his work in the professional sports sphere and his rugby league background – enjoying numerous Challenge Cup and Grand Final successes as Head of Strength and Conditioning with Wigan Warriors plus World Cup and 4 nation duties with both Wales and Scotland – during the past 15 years as an S&C coach, Mick has also helped shape the career of International athletes from the fields of athletics, football, MMA, wrestling, boxing, tennis, and cricket.
Prior to this, he enjoyed active service with the Royal Marines and their principles of hard work and discipline still form the bedrock of his coaching ethos…so much so, he acted as a fitness consultant to UK Special Forces in a unique role in 2019, advising on injury prevention strategies and training techniques transferrable from the world of elite sports to the military.
Although his name and reputation derive from his work with professional sports teams and athletes, Mick’s fervently passionate about nurturing and developing young talent. The amount of young players he’s worked with now breaking into the Wigan Warriors first team from the Academy speaks volumes not only of his ability but also his firm belief that having the correct guidance, discipline, training and encouragement during their formative years can help them fulfil not just their potential in their chosen sporting field but also give them a solid foundation they can carry with them for the rest of their life.
