Selected Engagements

David Parkinson works with athletes, programmes, and federations on the problems that shape competitive outcomes in elite sport; from Olympic gold medal winning programme roles and professional world-title campaigns to high-performance systems advisory across four continents.

The athlete looks sharp; until the moment it matters.

Most coaches recognise it: training-ground speed that disappears when timing shifts, cues blur, or pressure accumulates. It’s not a technique problem. It’s a training-environment problem - most systems aren’t built to expose decision delay under pressure.

PRPS (Professional Reactive Padwork System) is built to close that gap. Developed at world and Olympic level in elite combat sport, and now applied across multi-sport performance environments.

Internationally accredited and CEU-recognised.
