Fantastic experience: Our experience with Richardson Sport has been outstanding. Wayne is both professional and personable, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to every session. From day one, we noticed real improvements in our son, who plays at academy level and has represented England at the U16 level. The sessions took place in a top-class facility that fosters high performance. Wayne demonstrated an impressive ability to quickly assess our son’s strengths and areas for development, and tailored his programme accordingly. For anyone serious about taking their game to the next level, I would highly recommend Wayne. Paul & Harvey Higgins

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I came to Wayne at richardson sports to help improve my balance and coordination to help with football and other sports. I had just come out of an academy at 12 years old and Wayne sat me down and went through why and how he could help with me because i wasn’t enjoying my football anymore. Wayne did a session with me where we just sat down and discussed all the things about how to improve as a player and a person. When i first started with Wayne around 5-6 years ago he compared me to ‘Bambi on ice’ that’s how uncoordinated and unbalanced i was. During my time coming to see Wayne COVID 19 struck and therefore couldn’t go to the taekwondo centre so we had to resort to a zoom call from the local field. He watched me over the phone as i ran from cone to cone analysing my running form and what areas i had to improve. Fast forward a couple years and many sessions later i would like to say my balance and coordination is spot on and that is all thanks to Wayne. This year my younger brother has just started with Wayne to improve his running technique and coordination and if he can fix my balance and coordination he can fix anyone’s. I highly recommend going to Richardson sport and Wayne to anyone because he does really know what he is doing and it helps not just in football but all sports. He has been a great role model and mentor to me. Thank you Wayne!

Fantastic experience: When it comes to all things athletic development & football specific strength & conditioning, Wayne is second to none. Rich with 15 years of experience coaching elite level athletes, aswell as semi pro & junior level academy footballers, Wayne develops everyone he works with & improves their athletic performance massively. I'd highly recommend to any pro or semi pro athlete, aspiring to maximise their athletic capacity, learn about sport specific training & longevity, to work with Wayne for 1:1 coaching. His network of other world class professionals within the sports performance industry + his knowledge & coaching ability truly make Wayne second to none.

Richardson Sport

Many thanks Isaac!

Fantastic experience: Richardson sport is the ideal environment for wanting to improve your game both on and off the pitch. The expertise in strength and conditioning and running mechanics are up with there the best. The specific details and fine tuning that go into the sessions are the things that can separate average players into great players. Wayne always has time for his clients whether is a phone call midweek to check up on you and see how you are getting on or it’s staying behind after the session and talking about life. Wayne has aided me to develop into the men’s game and has equipped me with the physical tools that are needed to not only cope but look to dominate the men’s game. I would recommend Wayne to anyone that is serious about looking to develop their game and take the next step to get to the next level

Fantastic experience: My kids(12 and 11) have been training under Mr Wayne Richardson for nearly two years. They have benefitted all round and their running technique, sprint speed, agility have all improved. They looked forward to these weekly sessions as it was fun and Wayne interacted v well with them. Wayne has the persona and the know how, which is why he is sought after by elite athletes from different sports, mainly football. We have nothing but praise and hold him in high regard. I recommend Wayne Richardson sport to anyone who wants to go the next level. We will be back, once the Covid situation settles.
