Lower-limb strength & power
Maximal strength and rate of force development (RFD), reactivity and limb-asymmetry indices - key for explosive starts and healthy joints.
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Trusted by national team players and elite athletes across football and combat sports. Every programme begins with advanced performance testing, combining over 30 years of experience with objective data to maximise performance and reduce injury risk.
About Gatuno
Strength & conditioning coach and physiotherapist with ASCA Level 2 PRO accreditation, combining over 30 years of elite sport experience with advanced performance testing and evidence-based coaching.
For over 10 years I've worked as a strength & conditioning coach with athletes across many disciplines. Every collaboration begins with comprehensive testing, ensuring training decisions are based on objective data rather than assumptions.
Trusted by more than 40 national team football players, I also prepare athletes competing in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, UFC, KSW and other elite organisations, combining decades of experience with measurable performance data.
Training scope
I build every plan around the real demands of the sport and an objective athlete profile. Measuring strength, power and asymmetry is the basis for individualisation - and for returning to play healthy and available.
Maximal strength and rate of force development (RFD), reactivity and limb-asymmetry indices - key for explosive starts and healthy joints.
Explosive trunk rotation and sequential energy transfer through the whole kinetic chain - the foundation of striking, kicking and change of direction.
The ability to absorb and control forces during braking and landing - a priority in preventing knee and hip injuries.
Work for the adductors, hip rotators and trunk stabilisers - control of position and balance in match-like conditions.
Developing driving force and speed over the first metres - resisted sprints, sled work and drills focused on real movement patterns.
Physiotherapy, mobility and return-to-sport work that keeps the athlete healthy and fully available all season.
Leagues
The footballers I work with compete across Europe and beyond. Hover to pause.
Testimonials
If you want to become a top-level athlete, you should work with him. Our cooperation has lasted 8 years and we make progress every year. A treasure trove of S&C knowledge - a friend and mentor.
I've worked with Piotrek for over 8 years and thanks to him I stay in peak form without major health issues. Every session is precisely tailored - building strength and explosiveness while keeping me fresh and ready to compete at the highest level.
Eight years of working together, from academy days to the international level. His approach has made me stronger, faster and more resilient - and well-chosen training helped me avoid serious injuries for years.
Over 7 years of cooperation and a huge role in keeping me healthy and in peak form. Stronger, faster and injury-free - with full transparency towards clubs, which is crucial in professional work.

How we work
Every cooperation starts with objective testing, then moves to an individual training process tailored to your club schedule and goals.
Stage 1 - Strength & conditioning tests
We evaluate an athlete’s ability to generate force both within individual muscle groups (local strength) and across entire kinetic chains involved in sport-specific movement (global strength). Using VALD dynamometry and validated strength assessment protocols, we objectively quantify neuromuscular performance.
We assess:
Strength deficits often remain undetected during regular training but significantly influence athletic performance and injury risk. This assessment identifies individual weaknesses, allowing us to optimize training, reduce injury risk, monitor rehabilitation, and objectively track performance development over time.
Force plate testing provides an in-depth evaluation of how athletes generate, transfer, and absorb force during explosive movements. Rather than measuring jump height alone, we analyze the complete neuromuscular strategy behind each movement.
We assess:
Testing includes:
Two athletes may produce similar performance outcomes while relying on completely different movement strategies. Force plate analysis helps identify inefficiencies that limit speed, power, and explosiveness. It enables us to optimize force production, improve athletic performance, reduce unnecessary loading, and minimize injury risk.
Using the VALD HumanTrak system, we perform a markerless three-dimensional biomechanical assessment of movement quality. This technology provides an objective analysis of mobility, movement mechanics, and neuromuscular control throughout the body.
We assess:
Movement quality is the foundation of athletic performance. Identifying mobility restrictions, compensatory patterns, and biomechanical inefficiencies allows us to improve movement efficiency, reduce injury risk, and develop individualized corrective strategies that enhance long-term athletic performance.
Stage 2 - How We Work
After testing, we move on to individual or team training tailored to your goals and schedule.
