Newcastle’s Strongest Winger, The Influence Of Mentors and Coaching The Youth with Mat Craig

Today we sat down with Newstrength Client, Central Coast Rooster’s U16 Strength and Conditioning Coach and Newcastle’s Strongest Winger Mat Craig.

Mat and I met years ago back working for the same company, our relationship hit off through our mutual love of footy and work ethic in training. Since then Mat and I have remained good friends and we’ve had the pleasure of working together to get him even more powerful than he already is.

I had a tonne of fun talking with Mat about his journey from high level junior sports to becoming a viral meme after scoring a try in the Newcastle Rugby League Grand Final and now his role helping influence the junior rugby league athletes on the central coast to help them develop into not only great footballers but also good men.
