Tayla O’Neill completed her Honours in Sport Science at the University of Pretoria in 2024, where she gained extensive exposure to both the practical and theoretical aspects of the field. During her studies, she worked with athletes across a wide range of sports including netball, hockey, rugby, swimming, tennis, golf, and middle-distance running where she developed valuable experience in supporting different skill levels.

After university, Tayla began coaching at schools, working with learners from Grade 0 through to matric. This taught her the importance of adapting coaching styles to suit varying ages and abilities, a skill she considers essential when working with children. Alongside coaching, she gained work experience in training individuals to achieve their health and sport-specific goals. Passionate about youth development, Tayla is dedicated to nurturing both talent and a lifelong love for sport.

Her interests span team sports such as water polo and individual disciplines including running, open-water swimming, and triathlons. As a strength and conditioning coach, she brings enthusiasm, adaptability, and a commitment to helping young athletes thrive.

I, Hesham Kana, am a qualified physiotherapist with a strong interest in exercise and sports physiotherapy, injury prevention, and performance-based rehabilitation. I hold a BSc in Physiotherapy (Honours) from the University of Cape Town and am currently completing my Masters in Exercise and Sports Physiotherapy through UCT.

I have experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, neurological, and sports-related conditions in both adult and paediatric populations. My sports background includes working as Team Physiotherapist for the Ikey’s Women’s Rugby Team and providing physiotherapy support at major endurance events such as the Cape Town Cycle Tour.

I believe in following an evidence-based, patient-centred approach, with a strong emphasis on movement quality, education, and long-term outcomes. I have been appreciated for my clear communication, professionalism, and ability to tailor rehabilitation programs to each individual’s goals—whether returning to daily function, sport, or peak performance.

With a strong passion for athlete development, performance enhancement, and injury prevention, I am eager to contribute to a school environment that prioritises high-performance sport and long-term athlete well-being.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise and Leisure Sciences and currently work as an EMS Trainer at BODY20, where I deliver structured, results-driven training using evidence-based strength and conditioning principles. My role involves coaching correct movement patterns, managing training intensity, ensuring athlete safety, and tailoring programmes to individual needs - skills that are directly transferable to working with school athletes.

Working in a school environment strongly appeals to me, as it provides the opportunity to positively influence athletes during their formative years. I believe that early exposure to proper strength training, movement education, and conditioning techniques plays a vital role in improving performance, reducing injury risk, and building confidence across all sporting codes.

Through my experience at BODY20, I have developed strong coaching and communication skills, as well as a high level of attention to detail when it comes to technique, load management, and recovery. I regularly work with clients of varying ages and abilities, which has strengthened my ability to adapt coaching methods, motivate individuals, and maintain a professional, disciplined training environment. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to Thomas More College by supporting athlete development, enhancing sporting performance, and promoting a culture of safe, effective, and sustainable training.
