About me
Jory Joel's journey as a coach is a testament to the transformative power of sports and dedication. Nearly a decade ago, his coaching odyssey began during his school years when he discovered that rugby was not just a sport but a lifeline. Growing up in a single-parent household marked by financial struggles, Jory faced the challenges of constant relocation, attending five different primary schools, and grappling with deep-seated anger issues.
As a teenager, Jory found solace in rugby, yoga, and strength and conditioning, channeling his turbulent emotions into positive pursuits. His dedication not only tamed his troubled mind but ignited a passion for a career aimed at helping others through his own experiences. Despite a tumultuous upbringing and the absence of his father, who chose not to be a part of his life, Jory's resilience and determination paved the way for a remarkable journey.
During his educational journey at the University of Cumbria in Northern England, Jory, with a deep sense of personal achievement, immersed himself in the intricacies of human anatomy and biomechanics. Over a rigorous three-year period, he passionately pursued his studies, breaking new ground as the first-ever person in his family to attend university. This transformative experience culminated in the attainment of a Bachelor of Science in Sports Rehabilitation.
Armed with his newfound knowledge and qualification, Jory found himself at the threshold of opportunities in one of the UK's premier wellness centers. Here, he committed himself wholeheartedly to the mission of aiding individuals in their recovery journeys. His clientele expanded to include elite athletes, showcasing his ability to work seamlessly with professional rugby league players, formidable strongmen, and dedicated Olympic athletes.
In this dynamic environment, Jory's dedication and expertise shone brightly, contributing to the well-being and performance of those under his care. His experiences at the wellness center not only solidified his professional standing but also set the stage for the impactful career that would follow, marked by a commitment to excellence in sports rehabilitation and a genuine passion for helping others achieve their physical best.
Bolstered by his growing confidence, Jory returned to Northern Ireland, where he made significant contributions to the sports community. His clientele expanded to include professional boxers preparing for world championship fights and elite marathon runners striving for peak performance. Despite these high-profile associations, Jory finds his greatest pride in helping everyday individuals regain their ability to pursue jobs and hobbies they love.
Jory's approach involves a constant quest for knowledge, integrating cutting-edge exercise strategies to aid in injury healing and joint resilience. Outside of coaching, he remains an active participant in his own well-being, engaging in gymnastic rings training and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. His personal journey is a living testimony to his ability not only to guide others through injury recovery but also to overcome and learn from his own challenges over the years.
