Ben has led and advised physical performance and rehabilitation programmes for:
He has supported more than 900 elite athletes, including over 50 Olympic medallists, across every Olympic Games since 2008 and the world's biggest sporting finals. He has also supported over 150 athletes returning from injury, including 30 Olympic medallists.
Performance is built through clarity, preparation, and sound judgement under pressure.
At 292, we design systems that hold up when demand is high.
Our work combines experienced coaching, applied science, and disciplined collaboration to create performance environments that are clear, aligned, and built to last.
Every decision has a reason. Every plan is reviewed. Nothing is done for the sake of activity.
Our approach is grounded in preparation, precision, and systems that hold up under pressure. Using a multidisciplinary model, we integrate coaching, physical performance and science, psychology, and nutrition to ensure decisions are aligned and execution remains clear when demand increases.
Every detail matters, every decision is informed, every programme is designed for sustainable success.
We coach movement, strength, speed, and resilience with intent - not simply to improve performance in the short term, but to sustain it across seasons, cycles, and careers.
Performance starts with understanding what truly matters. No two athletes, teams, or organisations operate in the same way. We design programmes around the individual and the environment, considering needs, demands, calendars, and long-term objectives.
We take time to understand your goals, your environment, and the demands you face. From there, we identify what is helping performance, and what is holding it back. Not everything needs fixing. Knowing what to prioritise is the work.
Data only matters if it improves decisions.
We use targeted profiling, ongoing monitoring, and individualised analysis to guide preparation, loading, and progression. Insight shapes direction. Experience shapes interpretation.
Performance doesn't exist in silos. Our approach integrates coaching, physical performance, sports science, psychology, and nutrition to ensure decisions are aligned and athletes are supported as complete systems, not separate parts.
Collaboration is structured, deliberate, and accountable.
We don't arrive to replace systems. We arrive to strengthen them.
Our work complements existing staff, structures, and processes. Our work enhances clarity, consistency, and decision-making across performance teams. Our goal is to build trust through alignment, not control.
Performance is not static.
As demands shift and athletes develop, systems evolve. Progress is monitored through regular review cycles, with adjustments made intentionally, not reactively. The goal is sustained performance, not short-term wins.
Trusted where standards are high and margins are small.
292 works within environments where preparation, judgement, and execution are tested every day.
We support athletes, teams, and organisations who operate under sustained pressure and require clarity that holds up over time. The trust placed in our work reflects the standards we bring, and the outcomes those standards help deliver.
After losing 54 days to hamstring injury during the 2022/23 season, the focus was clear: restore availability without compromising speed, sprint volume, or attacking output.
Assessment identified mechanical constraints in sprinting that were increasing strain at high velocity and limiting tolerance to repeated exposure.
A targeted off-season programme addressed sprint mechanics, strength, and high-speed exposure — delivered through an integrated 292 team aligned around performance and availability.
The result was zero days missed the following season, alongside increased sprint exposure, repeatability, and improved attacking output.
This work shows that availability and performance can be improved together when intervention is precise and aligned.
Following recurrent calf injuries, the priority was to restore tissue capacity without reducing sprint performance.
Profiling identified a 31% strength deficit, alongside a mismatch between force production and tissue capacity. The injured limb was absorbing increased load during acceleration, driving repeated breakdown.
Working in full collaboration with Manchester City, we aligned physical capacity with sprint demands: progressively restoring strength while maintaining and advancing sprint exposure, guided by continuous data monitoring.
The outcome was a return to high-speed sprinting without symptoms, reduced deficit, and improved robustness, all without compromising performance output.
This approach demonstrates that rehabilitation can be achieved without regression when root causes are addressed and exposure is maintained.
Ahead of major international tournaments, physical preparation needed to better reflect the demands of competition, particularly back-to-back match load and cumulative intensity.
Initial review identified a clear gap between domestic exposure and tournament demands, with fatigue impacting decision-making and consistency.
We embedded within the programme to design and implement a structured physical system, progressively increasing load, developing back-to-back tolerance, and integrating monitoring and planning across the cycle.
Training volume increased by 57% while maintaining player health, back-to-back exposure doubled, and physical capacity improved under load — resulting in greater robustness and consistency in competition.
This work shows how aligned, long-term systems can prepare athletes for tournament demands without increasing injury risk.
292 is led and delivered by practitioners experienced in demanding, high-performance environments.
Our team combines coaches, scientists, and specialists from elite football, the FA, Team GB, and global performance settings. Individual expertise is important, but our strength lies in how we work together: aligned, deliberate, and focused on what matters.
