Sport Bio:
Mitch initially commenced his career working in high performance as an assistance strength and conditioning coach with South Fremantle women’s WAFL while completing his bachelors of Exercise Science in 2019. Mitch would spend a single season here learning the ropes before making a move to his sport of choice, attaining the role of head of strength and conditioning with Curtin University Football Club’s State League Men’s Soccer program at the end of 2019. Mitch would go on to work in this role for a further 3 years, refining his skills in strength and conditioning while simultaneously developing an understanding of sport science with access to Catapult GPS units in addition to cutting his teeth in the sports rehabilitation realm as he commenced his MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology.
After a long and somewhat successful 3 years of refining skills and wearing multiple hats; Mitch felt it was time to move on to something bigger, accepting the role of head of Sport Science with Football West National Training Centre u19s Women’s, where he was fortunate enough to join during one of the most successful seasons in the teams history, assisting the team in achieving a State Cup win, top 4 finish in the WNPL and seeing 7 players attain professional contracts with multiple A-League clubs (One of which being the youngest ever women’s footballer to make her professional debut).
Workers Comp Bio:
Mitch joined the team at West Coast Health & High Performance following 6-months working in mining as an Exercise Physiologist, and 12-months as a rehabilitation consultant with Konekt WorkCare.
Previous experience in these two roles have afforded Mitch the opportunity to understand the complexities and nuances of the workers compensation scheme, attaining unique perspectives from an employer’s point-of-view with Ramelius Resources, and a vocational consultant’s point of view with Konekt WorkCare.
With the above-mentioned experience; Mitchell has seen the good, bad and ugly with the clinical side of workers compensation, understanding best practice within the realm of rehabilitation, while also understanding the interests, needs and wants of the varrious parties involved in a worker’s compensation claim.
With this knowledge, Mitch feels he can provide a superior service, effectively reducing return-to-work timeframes while maintaining timely and succinct communication with relevant parties to assist in accurate progressions in capacity and patient-centred care.
