SYLVESTER BUKALA

HEAD S&C COACH (AUBURN)

SYLVESTER’S STORY

Pursuing my career in Fitness after a short tenure in the hospitality industry, I decided to use my service expertise and combined it with my passion for fitness to graduate with a Master Trainer degree from AIF to become a Personal Trainer.

Having been in the industry for 3+ years while working at Fitness First North Strathfield, as a PT and a Boot camp Instructor I’ve decided to further combine my love for sports especially in basketball and athletic performance and enrolled for my ASCA Level 1 accreditation to step into the field of Strength and Conditioning.

During my journey into Strength and Conditioning, I’ve managed to combine my previous experience in Powerlifting in order to specialise in Strength and Functional Screening through having accreditation in Strength System International Accreditation Level 1-2 and FMS Movement Screening Level 1. Furthermore I’ve enrolled into Edge Performance Academy to learn the ins and outs of being a Strength and Conditioning Coach. With the final piece of my ASCA accreditation, I’ve found a calling for more to bring up the next generation of athletes from a basketball setting.

By working in Hoops Performance, there are a lot of talented and skilled individuals so in order to award hard work I would help provide coaching services in order to young athletes to help build athletic performance to help them realise their dreams into making it to the next step in their journey for playing at a professional level.

Being an strength and conditioning coach, I feel obligated to provide the most professional service that I can in order to help guide athletes into adopting the best version of themselves not just in their basketball career but in their fitness and life journey as well.

A little about myself is that I love watching basketball and an avid lover of the NBA, I like to work out and stay active, go out for brunches and dinner (even a cheeky dessert) and spending time with my family and friends.
