DS Performance

DS Performance can take you all the way with elite level training for all performance levels. Dave Smith of DS Performance has created easy to follow structured programmes designed for your chosen sport so you can go from a general conditioning program, to being competition ready in a matter of weeks.

Firstly, thank you for visiting DS Performance, my name is David Smith, I’m the founder and owner. My own athletic background is diverse. I’m a former Team GB athlete, where I competed at Bobsleigh internationally. Throughout my athletic career I have competed at multiple individual, team, and racket sports. Currently I enjoy playing golf on a recreational level. I train 5 days a week, where I include Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and sprinting as part of my weekly routines. Throughout my sporting career I have competed at the highest level, gaining vast experience in elite performance which I now utilise as a coach. As a Strength & Conditioning coach, I’ve supported athletes in over 30 different sports and disciplines, over a 20-year period. My goal is to create an online sporting community, that shares knowledge and experiences through sporting cross pollination. This will introduce athletes from all backgrounds and abilities to elite training methods, to increase performance, reduce risk of injury and bring structure along with progressive development. I have designed reliable and easy to follow training programmes to provide athletes with a performance pathway, for both short and long-term athletic development.
