EXERCISE SCIENCE & HIGH-PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE


Jonathan graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science, combining his academic background with practical experience in high-performance sport.


In 2025, Jonathan completed an internship with the Newcastle Knights NRL program, working within the speed and strength program under coaches Aaron Sculli and Matty Jay.


He was subsequently given the opportunity to work as an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach with the Knights NSW Women’s Premiership team, before continuing his involvement in the Knights development pathway as a Strength & Conditioning Coach with the 2026 Lisa Fiola squad.


This experience has given Jonathan a strong understanding of athletic development, strength and conditioning, and the physical preparation required for high-performance sport.


ELITE CYCLING EXPERIENCE


Jonathan brings something particularly valuable to his coaching: years of experience competing at an elite level himself.


As a UCI Continental cyclist with NERO Continental, Jonathan raced in Europe against riders competing at WorldTour level and has represented both Australia and NSW during his cycling career.


His racing background spans road racing and criteriums, with championship success including NSW/ACT Criterium and Road Race titles, as well as NSW Country and Metropolitan Championships. During his junior and U23 years, Jonathan also won the U19 NSW Criterium Championship and U23 NSW Road Race Championship.


He has achieved numerous podium finishes across NSW tours and one-day races, along with top-10 results at national-level events.


Jonathan continues to race competitively in the ProVelo Super League, giving him first-hand experience of the training, preparation and demands of high-level cycling.
