Applied Performance Background:

Christopher operates at the intersection of clinical care and performance working with high-output, contact-sport athletes to restore durability, manage load and maintain availability across long seasons.  He currently serves as Medical Director for the Surrey Lacrosse Association, overseeing injury management and return-to-play coordination within a contact sport environment.

Christopher works with athletes who are cleared to play—but not performing at capacity.  His model integrates:

     •  Clinical Assessment.

     • Targeted Therapeutic Interventions.

     • Strength & Work load recalibration.

This is not passive care.  It is case-based, outcome-driven intervention aimed at:

     •  Reducing recurrent breakdown.

     •  Restoring force production and movement quality.

     •  Keeping athletes on the field, not in the treatment room.

Christopher does not operate as a general therapist or maintenance provider.  He works within performance ecosystems where:

     •  Availability is non-negotiable.

     •  Load accumulates faster than recovery.

     •  Decisions need to be decisive, not theoretical.

With three decades of combined experience as an athlete and coach — and advanced training in contemporary medical acupuncture and physical preparation — Christopher brings a performance-first clinical lens to athlete care.  His work is built around one metric:

Keeping athletes available, durable, and performing under load.    

Strength & Performance Credentials:

Applied Performance Background:

Grant Sayle leads strength and performance development at Sailor Jack's, working with athletes to build force production, movement efficiency and resilience under load.  With over two decades of competitive athletic experience across baseball, hockey and professional wrestling; Grant brings a multi-sport lens to performance preparation — understanding both the developmental pathway and the demands of high-impact environments.

Grant's work is centred on one objective: building athletes who can produce, repeat and sustain output.

His coaching integrates:

     •  Strength development (barbell, kettlebell, Olympic lifting).
     •  Relative strength & calisthenics.
     •  Energy system development.
     •  Mobility and joint integrity.

This is not general fitness.

Programs are built to:

     •  Improve force output and rate of force development.
     •  Increase work capacity without sacrificing movement quality.
     • Prepare athletes for the physical realities of contact, collision and fatigue.

Grant operates within a structured, progression-based model where training is aligned to the athlete's sport demands, training age and competitive calendar.  He does not run generic programs or chase fatigue for its own sake. Every element of training is selected with intent—tied directly to performance outcomes.

As Director Of Strength & Performance, Grant works in tandem with clinical oversight to ensure athletes are not only getting stronger — but staying available.  His role sits at the intersection of:

     •  Performance development.
     •  Load Management.
     •  Long-term athletic durability.

Grant combines a competitive athletic background with applied strength and conditioning practice to deliver results-driven performance training.  His standard is simple:

Stronger.  More durable.  Repeatable output under pressure.
