Miles Dearden

I am an ambitious and driven professional with proven experience in management and leadership, as well as a strong background as a Head of Physical Performance. Throughout my career, I have developed a diverse skill set that blends strategic oversight, team development, and performance optimisation. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can motivate others, implement effective structures, and deliver measurable results.

I am now looking to expand my career, taking on new challenges where I can apply my expertise in managing people, fostering growth, and enhancing organisational performance. With a passion for continuous improvement and a commitment to achieving excellence, I am eager to contribute my leadership skills and performance insights to a forward-thinking organisation.

I have built a diverse career combining leadership, performance coaching, and operational management. As a Head of Physical Performance and Strength & Conditioning Coach, I have worked with professional clubs and athletes to optimise training, recovery, and performance through data-driven insights and tailored interventions. Alongside this, I bring proven management experience from hospitality and business operations, where I successfully led teams, streamlined processes, and improved efficiency. This blend of high-performance sport expertise and strong organisational leadership makes me adaptable, results-driven, and uniquely positioned to add value across both sporting and corporate environments.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from Liverpool John Moores University, where I gained deep expertise in biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and nutrition, supported by hands-on coaching and applied research. Complementing my degree, I am qualified as a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning Principles Coach and hold certifications in LEAN Business Management, safeguarding, and sports etchicacy. My academic and professional development demonstrates a unique combination of scientific knowledge, practical coaching skill, and operational efficiency that sets me apart in performance and leadership roles.
