Chinnor’s new Strength and Conditioning Coach

CHINNOR RFC Thame have announced the appointment of Daz Oliver as their Strength and Conditioning Coach. The former RAF lock enjoyed two spells with the Club as a player and is well known to members and supporters. 

The appointment marks the continuation of Chinnor’s link with Powerhouse Performance Club, which is based at Kingsey Road and co-founded by Daz. Having previously held the position of S&C Coach, Daz has said that he is delighted to be a part of the set-up once more. 

“I am really pleased to be brought into the management team alongside Richard Thorpe as Director of Rugby, Matty Mountford as Team Manager and Bertie Hopkin as Club Captain,” he said. “Thorpey has outlined his vision for the Club and the culture we want to build, and it’s very exciting. 

“I have been in and around the Club since 2014 as a player and S&C; I even run my company Powerhouse Performance Club from it. Powerhouse has been involved with the strength and conditioning for the last two seasons, so we have a good understanding of what works and what doesn’t. Thorpey has given me licence to put whatever systems I see necessary in place to get us up to the standard we want to operate at. I am looking forward to this continued Chinnor and Powerhouse partnership.”
