I was on the verge of retiring from hurling after years of struggling with a chronic back injury involving a bulging disc at the L5/S1. Despite receiving six steroid injections and a nerve block over the last three years, I felt limited and fed up with the constant pain. I decided to train with the team at Petey Performance to see if I could regain my mobility and return to the game I love. The most valuable lesson I learned was that managing a chronic injury requires a specialised approach rather than just treating the symptoms with injections. Through their guidance, I achieved the major result of returning to the pitch feeling better than I have in years. This has completely changed my outlook, moving me from a place of frustration and potential retirement to feeling physically capable and energised again. To anyone considering training with them, especially if you feel limited by a long-term injury, I cannot recommend them enough. They helped me overcome the physical and mental hurdles of my injury and got me back to playing the game I love.

I came to train with Peter following my total dissatisfaction with my sports clinic's ACL rehabilitation program and my overall progress in the months after my ACL operation. I really felt I needed a more tailored rehabilitation program rather than the generic one I had been given, which, in hindsight, was getting me nowhere fast.Everything changed when I reached out to Peter. From our very first video call, I knew I was in great professional hands. Having been through the ACL rehabilitation process himself, there genuinely wasn't a question I could ask that he couldn't answer. He also understood that my injury wouldn't just affect me physically but mentally as well. Having access to a sports psychologist through his program turned out to be another huge asset in helping me get back on the pitch.Rehabilitation is a tough and often lonely process. Personally, I struggle with motivation at the best of times, and while I certainly wasn't a model student when it came to doing my rehab, Peter always kept me accountable. He was always quick to answer any questions I had, checked in regularly, and adjusted my programme whenever I needed it. That level of support made a huge difference and meant I never felt like I was going through the process alone. His training app also helped me track my progress, which motivated me to stay consistent and keep improving.Working with Peter over the past year has taught me that the rehabilitation process can actually be enjoyable, but that consistency is key. I also completed a couple of in-person sessions with him, and the knowledge I took away particularly around running mechanics and game-speed training is something that will benefit my own training for years to come.Thanks to Peter's guidance and expertise, I am now back wearing an Irish jersey and secured my very first international Tag Rugby cap this past July. Not only did I make it back onto the pitch, but I've returned as a stronger, faster athlete who no longer thinks twice about her knee.My advice to any athlete considering working with Peter is simple: do your future self a favour and start with him now. My only regret throughout my rehabilitation journey is that I didn't start training with Peter from day one.

I came to Petey with groin/hip pain that had been progressively getting worse and I had been ignoring and playing through for a while. I was probably producing a lot of force but needed to tidy up how I was using that force. I am now back playing pain free and also feeling a better athlete overall.Petey is top and I would recommend him highly!

I reached out to Petey last December after struggling through a 2nd lengthy spell out with Osteitis Pubis. Confidence was low and years of struggling to stay healthy post Covid for a full season meant I was close to hanging up the boots.With the help of Mitch and Petey we got to work and although it was humbling from the start, week by week the progression was incredible. The detail in the coaching was high level and helped me understand what was expected within each exercise of every workout.I’m glad to say I’m back playing now looking forward the Championship ahead and hopefully for years to come which is totally different to how I felt at the end of last year.I finally regained what it feels like for a body being 100% going into a game or a training. With the lads help I’ve been able to learn so much about how to manage my body and the difference the prep and speed work can make for my game.For anyone considering joining I would highly recommend. For me this was like getting a required surgery. It’s a lot of time and hard work but the outcomes are worth it if that’s what you are searching for.

I had a great time rehabbing osteitis pubis and athletic groin pain with Peter and Oisin. From the start I liked how pragmatic and straight up the lads were. Any questions I had based on my injury or issues I had regarding team managers the lads sorted promptly.Along with getting top quality rehab there’s a great focus on learning and understanding the process. I feel fit and powerful from working with the lads. I can see real improvements and look forward to implementing my new gains on the field.

I reached out to Petey to help me rehab my hamstring tendon after surgery due to ongoing persistent hamstring injuries. I completed 4 months remotely with Petey and Mitch in the latter stages of my rehab while returning back onto the pitch after a lengthy time away. I couldn’t recommend the lads and their process enough! Petey and his team’s approach to getting me back into team training consistently has been exceptional. I’ve learnt massively about how to move more efficiently and effectively and have tidied up my running on the pitch through the feedback videos each week. I’ve also learnt lots now which I will continue to implement into my training as the season continues i.e. prep work and strength work. I felt way more confident and assured in my body as I returned to playing football again. I have returned to training consistently on the pitch under Petey and his team’s guidance as a result. The communication and navigation through each step of the process has been excellent and has left me in a way better position prior to injury. I would confidently recommend Petey to anyone who is struggling with an injury or simply looking to improve overall as an athlete!

Completed the 12 week mentorship with Petey and it was 10/10. It gave me exactly what I needed which was structure for my coaching business and how to navigate different parts of the season with GAA players and injuries

I went to Pete after just returning to some change of direction work after ACL reconstruction. I felt I was making progress prior to joining but that there scope for improvements in my existing plan. Pete and Mitch worked together to deliver a far more comprehensive approach to my rehab, guiding my movement efficiency through return to sprinting, change of direction and then training and match play. The biggest testament I can give is that I returned to the pitch after an extended period out more confident in my sprinting and change of direction technique, completely confident in my knee and ready to try make an impact. The lads are always there and really care about their clients and their progress, a personal touch that makes the process so much easier. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the service and how they’ve helped me on and off the field.
