Slade King
Academic Staff Member
School of Health, Education and Environment
Slade King has operated as a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach between here and Australia for the last 10 years now. This has given him a vast range of practical skills and experience in the sports and fitness industry.
Alongside a lifetime of participation in both recreational and high performance sports, Slade has been highly involved as a lead strength and conditioning coach for the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union. He is highly familiar with both old and current best practices used to enhance physical performance and reduce the likelihood of injuries.
Teaching in the sport and recreation courses is satisfying as it enables him to give back by sharing his knowledge and passion with others, in the field he loves.
