Daniel Collins
Daniel is a Chartered Accountant and currently Finance Director for a Healthcare provider based in London. As well as competing in Powerlifting Daniel has also won titles in the world of bodybuilding through the Natural Physique Association.
Both Louise and Daniel are involved in the National Coaching Program and are also National IPC referees and with this many roles it is hardly surprising that both have taken a break from competitive lifting to undertake coaching work and be involved in this sport.
BWLA athletes are drug tested through UK Sport and there is an active discouragement of any performance enhancing drugs being used for any sports and this is supported by all members and coaches.
