Who am I? Motivations and influences,
My name is Chris Dorman. I am from the beautiful Great Southern region and have awaited returning to it. Now here, I am looking forward to combining my passions, physical training, food, health, trail running, strength training, learning, and the outdoors to impact the health and performance of as many people as I can. These are my motivations.
My journey has taken me through the health, fitness, academic, professional sport, Strength & Conditioning & Sports Nutrition industries, and now I am looking to create something of my own and creating change, for the better. Now you understand me and my motivations, if you follow my social media posts or see the Research tab, you will see my post academic research journey, influences and ultimately, biases. Then please decide if you would like to undertake my services and the Life Performance Program.
If you want to work, I want to work with you!
