Performance team
GB Boxing’s Performance Team is led by Rob McCracken MBE who was appointed as Performance Director in November 2009.
Rob leads a team of six full-time coaches, more than 10 part-time coaches and a host of performance staff that are responsible for specific aspects of the World Class Programme (WCP) such as nutrition, coach development and identifying, recruiting and developing new talent.
Former Olympic bronze medallist, Richie Woodhall, also works with the Podium Squad as a coaching consultant for two-days per week.
The Performance team is supported by a number of sport science and medical practitioners from the UK Sports Institute (UKSI) that are contracted to work with GB Boxing and are embedded into the team and work daily with the boxers and coaches. These include a Team Doctor and practitioners in a range of specialities including Physiotherapy, Physiology, Strength & Conditioning, Performance Psychology, Performance Analysis and Performance Lifestyle. The UKSI is the UK’s leading provider of sport science and medical services to elite sport and works with over 30 Olympic and Paralympic sports.
