[Bangsy] had a massive impact on me in the early stages of my career when we had him around the club. Techniques I still use today.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Bangsy both in whole team club tackling sessions as a junior and most recently as part of the Western Bulldogs AFLW program. Bangsy’s ability to translate his knowledge from a Judo background to the skills of tackling and bodywork in AFL football is rare and extraordinary. He simplifies complex movements using simple trigger words that are easy to remember in game and have helped my tackling and bodywork immensely. As well as being a specialist coach, Bangsy is an extremely relatable and supportive individual who is willing to go above and beyond to fast track your development. Bangsy has provided me with the knowledge and skills I need to make tackling a weapon of my game, and his ongoing support with my bodywork have resulted in massive on field improvements. I feel more confident in my on field tackling and bodywork than ever before, largely thanks to Bangsy’s amazing coaching. I can’t wait to continue working with Bangsy to further refine my technique in the future.  

Working with Bangsy has been amazing for my development, especially when it comes to my tackling craft. He’s helped me build so much confidence in that area, and I’ve seen a real improvement in how I approach and execute my tackles on the field. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and communicates things in a way that’s easy to understand and apply straight away. What stands out most is how invested he is in helping you improve. He’s always pushing you to get better while also making you feel supported. Because of his coaching, I now feel much more confident and composed when it comes to my tackling, and it’s become a real strength in my game.
