Isaac Hay is the founder of Hays Coaching, where he combines occupational therapy principles with strength and conditioning to help individuals of all ages unlock their full physical and academic potential.

​

With a background in semi-professional and national-level sport, Isaac’s passion for human performance was forged early. His athletic experience spans powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, football, athletics, rugby and more, alongside his time at Wycombe Wanderers FC, where he honed his expertise in elite sport, developing athletic performance and movement efficiency.

​

Isaac’s journey took a pivotal turn when he began working with children with additional needs through Leap Children’s Therapy, an occupational therapy service in Buckinghamshire. During his time working in mainstream schools, he recognised a critical gap between occupational therapy and sports coaching, leading him to pioneer an integrated, evidence-based approach he calls Movement Coaching.

​

Through Movement Coaching, Isaac and his coaches fill the gap between occupational therapy and sports coaching, supporting children and adults in improving their coordination. Focusing on fun exercises and movements that develop bilateral integration, midline crossing, balance, strength, proprioception, ball perceptive skills, core strength and emotional regulation, thereby facilitating both physical and neurodevelopmental growth.

​

Drawing on his personal ADHD experience, Isaac brings valuable insights and empathy to his work, resulting in overall improvements to children's coordination by up to 71.5% in only 8 weeks.
