Hi, I'm Professor John Cronin otherwise known as John or JC. I’m dedicated to sharing my expert knowledge and ideas with you. The strength and conditioning, I share with you, is underpinned by proven scientific research, practice-based evidence and my experience uniquely crafted from working with developmental to elite athletes, as well as my world travels and international collaborations.

I was trained as a Physical Education teacher and spent my first five years as a primary teacher (5-12 year olds) these years gave me a solid grounding in pedagogy as I taught across multiple  subjects to varied levels of ability and ages. From then on the teaching became easier as the following five years I taught in secondary schools (13-17 year olds) as a physical education and maths teacher.  Along the way I got passionate about coaching and decided I wanted to pursue a coaching career and headed to Canada for my postgraduate studies.  

During these studies I was impacted by a sports biomechanics lecturer, shortly thereafter swapping out of coaching and into sport science.  The rest is history. I have spent most of the last 20 plus years at AUT University lecturing in the Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs in sport and exercise science. Currently I am a Professor in Strength and Conditioning at AUT University and most of my time is spent supervising and mentoring postgraduate students.
