Damian most recently was the Physical Performance Manager (TAS) for Tennis Australia (2013-2022), again with junior players through to players on the professional tennis circuit. Damian's primary track and field sprinting specialty/interest is the 400m however has also achieved great coaching success in the short sprints as well including coaching the Sandy Bay Harriers men's open 4x100m team to 8 successive open 4x100m championships and has used his sports coaching experience from both within and external to the track and field, to develop his athletes into quality people as well as sprint athletes which he feels is the driver for success.
