Coaching pedigree

Robbie has spent more than twenty years coaching tricking and acrobatics, and the WightTricks programme is the result of that work. A tricker and sports scientist, he has guided athletes from their very first skills through to national, international and world-championship success - and applies the same principles to every class in the academy.

Bowie Brennan is a hugely valued head coach at WightTricks, helping shape the culture and standards of the academy through his knowledge, presence and consistency. He leads with a playful yet calm authority, genuine care and a clear respect for the craft. He is especially known for his clean execution, disciplined approach and deep commitment to training with purpose - there is a real sense of intention behind the way he moves and the way he works: never rushed, never careless, always composed. As an athlete he is a past FTIG Champion, NoRivals 2024 UK Champion and a competitor with multiple podium finishes across a range of events, proving himself against strong fields both nationally and internationally, including a Top 16 finish at the Hooked World Championship in Amsterdam.

Jess has become a pivotal part of WightTricks over the past two years, bringing a thoughtful, highly observant approach to coaching and a genuine eye for the craft.

One of her greatest strengths is her ability to notice the details that are easy to miss - the small changes in position, timing, confidence and technique that often make the biggest difference to a student's progression. Her coaching is conscious and intentional, with excellent spotting technique and a strong understanding of how to make athletes feel both safe and capable.

Jess particularly excels at developing beginners, giving students the foundations, confidence and technical understanding they need to progress into strong intermediate athletes. She has a calm way of making difficult skills feel achievable without ever losing sight of quality.

Beyond her individual coaching, Jess has become an important part of the culture and consistency of WightTricks. Her work behind the scenes and on the floor has contributed enormously to the academy's progress and achievements over the past year.

Thoughtful, dependable and technically sharp, she's become an invaluable part of the team.
