Meet Ambassador & Founder and Co-Director of ExCo – Jake Holt

Jake Holt

TAHH Ambassador & Founder and Co-Director of ExCo

Jake is a driven and deeply knowledgeable Exercise Scientist with over 15 years of hands-on experience in injury rehabilitation and performance enhancement. With a clinical and coaching lens shaped by extensive exposure to elite sport and evidence-based practice, Jake specialises in the application of movement and rehabilitative strategies to address complex, persistent, and often recurring musculoskeletal conditions. His work consistently bridges the gap between pain management and performance, supporting both everyday movers and Olympic athletes alike.

Jake’s foundation in sport is broad and personal. He competed in athletics at a national level, with hurdling taking him overseas while he studied at the prestigious Loughborough University in the UK. His own training and athletic development opened doors to work with world-class coaches, lecturers, and therapists—fueling a lifelong pursuit of biomechanical precision, integrated systems thinking, and client-centred performance outcomes.

Currently based in Australia, Jake continues to refine his approach through ongoing education and collaboration. His work is particularly influenced by the intersection of respiratory, neurological, and biomechanical systems on human movement. Whether coaching on the track or consulting in the clinic, Jake remains focused on delivering long-term, sustainable outcomes that honour both performance and health.
