He represented Ireland in Australian Rules, winning both European and International Cups (2010/2011), and today coaches athletes and teams across Ireland and internationally — including as a coach for the Irish Men’s Aussie Rules team (2023/2024) and Ratoath’s Meath Division 1 Minor Champions in 2024.
With over a decade of biopharma consulting and a deep commitment to athlete wellbeing, Aidan’s approach is holistic, practical, and personal. His goal isn’t just to improve performance — it’s to help athletes stay healthy, grow with purpose, and enjoy the journey on the way to their peak.
This platform gave us a real edge in 2024.
It delivered performance, mindset, and wellness support straight to the players’ phones — exactly when they needed it most. The lads bought into it completely. For modern teams, it’s a no-brainer.
This platform made international coaching feel local.
It kept our players aligned, prepared, and connected — no matter where in the world they were. A vital part of our success across Europe and beyond.
PeakAthlete reflects the kind of integrated, high-performance approach I believe in — rooted in science, behaviour, and real human health.
Having worked with Aidan across areas like biohacking, behaviour design, and holistic performance, I’ve seen firsthand how he brings depth and clarity to supporting athletes and teams. The platform is an outstanding tool for anyone serious about sustainable performance.
What stood out was having everything — team communications, 1-1s with coaches, and support across all areas of performance — all in one slick platform on your phone.
It made it easy to stay on track and made a real difference on our way to winning the Minor Championship 2024.
I can’t speak highly enough of PeakAthlete, from the moment we started using it, it provided us with a great foundation in terms of food plans aswell as the nutritional information needed to maximise performance.
It also provided a variety of different training plans that players could do either together or individually before, after training, or on gap days in between. The platform itself was quick and easy to use and allowed transparency across the playing group as well as providing a one stop shop for any questions or queries you may have.
At PeakAthlete, we take a holistic approach to performance — supporting not just you train, but how you live, recover, and grow around it.
Real progress is built in the hours between sessions, and that’s where we set ourselves apart. From mindset and recovery to sleep, stress, and structure, our coaching fills the gaps that traditional training leaves behind. With expert guidance, cutting-edge tools, and a connected community, you’ll have everything you need to move consistently and confidently toward your personal peak.
