The Canada Wolverines have appointed ex Cents player Simon Paige as their new Head of Physical Performance and Analysis. Simon, 31, who has been the Ontario RL Strength and Conditioning Coach has now been given the task of overseeing the Canadian Wolverines Athletic Performance build up to the 2012 World Cup. “I am excited to be in this position. My role will change slightly, and I’ll be taking on more responsibility, but my enthusiasm and desire to accomplish what I think is possible won’t.” Simon said. Before emigrating to Canada, Simon played rugby union and rugby league and then represented the Province of Ontario in League. Wolverines Head Coach, Benjamin Fleming said “Simon’s absolute dedication and infallible positive attitude, along with his energy, knowledge base and professional development is profound and it only makes sense that he is elevated into a National position. He is a distinguished leader in his field, I look forward to him passing on his wealth of information to all the national players across the country over the next few years.” Photo above, Simon scoring for the Cents. |
