"Pat Dolan is not just a strength coach; he’s a transformative force in athletics. His dedication to building team culture is unparalleled, fostering an environment where athletes thrive both physically and mentally. What sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to each individual under his guidance. Pat’s personalized approach ensures that every athlete receives the attention they need to excel, pushing them beyond their limits and towards their full potential. Under his guidance, I’ve witnessed remarkable transformations, both in terms of performance and mindset. His data-driven approach ensures that every decision is backed by evidence, leading to tangible results that speak for themselves. Beyond the numbers, Pat’s impact resonates in the camaraderie and unity he instills with teams. His influence extends far beyond the weight room, shaping athletes into not just better competitors, but better people. Pat Dolan is more than a coach; he’s a catalyst for greatness."

“I’ve been working with Patrick for the past seven months and can say without hesitation that he has been far and away the best trainer with whom I have ever worked. His knowledge of physiology and sports injuries is profound and it shows in his attention to detail with every exercise, being able to make the smallest adjustments for the greatest gains. I feel much stronger, more stable and balanced, and perhaps best of all, able to use my left shoulder again for the first time following an injury several years ago. Being a medical professional and having worked with physical therapists and trainers through the years, I can safely say that Patrick’s knowledge far exceeds any personal trainer I have encountered. Furthermore, he is very timely and has an extremely welcoming and warm demeanor, making our sessions all the more enjoyable. In all, I can not recommend Patrick any more highly and am confident that anyone who works with him will be extremely happy and satisfied with the results.”

“Patrick has been instrumental in the success of our program after we committed to modernizing our load periodization plan using the Catapult system. He is detailed, professional and driven to offer guidance and advice on our methodology and approach to each and every session and student athlete. We have seen a drop in injuries which means we have great availability for training and games, and that has led us to new heights as a program. The modern-day coach must be open to new methods, data collection and interpretation so that we can ensure safety, maximum team performance and player development in our programs and Patrick has impacted that for Manhattan College men’s soccer. I have also known Patrick as a performance specialist, strength and conditioning coach, and soccer coach and his willingness to help build success is just as important as his knowledge and expertise.”

“Ireland Lacrosse hosted its first-ever major tournament - the 2022 Men's U21 World Championship & World Festival - in August 2022. In light of the pandemic, and with the world-class level standards for medical provision set by World Lacrosse (the world governing body), the demands and expectations on us as the local organising body were extremely high. We delivered - but that absolutely would not have been possible without Patrick Dolan stepping up as Event Medical Co-ordinator and taking full responsibility for management and oversight of this aspect of the event. Patrick handled the health and safety of the competing players, attending fans, and liaison with all of the different medical providers with energy, efficiency, good humour, tact and diplomacy. His knowledge, professionalism and work ethic are first class. I hope to work with him again and am excited to see where he can push the medical and performance industry in sports.”

I had the privilege of working alongside Patrick for two years and have known him now for 11 years. I can’t speak highly enough about the work that he does, and the type of person he is. The level of detail he puts into his work is second to none. Patrick’s knowledge across the human performance spectrum is immense and is backed by both his practical and clinical experiences. He’s been a coach at the collegiate and professional levels, but is also a researcher with an impressive PhD. I was particularly blown away while Patrick was the Director of Performance at Manhattan College, with his organizational skills...his ability to manage 20 different sports the way he did, at such a high level, is a testament to his leadership skills. I’ve witnessed firsthand his ability to get the most out of an athlete and colleague. Patrick is someone I hold in the highest regard and anyone that has the opportunity to work with him will benefit tremendously from their experience with him.

“Working with Pat was a game-changer when I needed it most. Just days before a golf tournament, I injured my back, leaving me worried about my performance. Pat's expertise in stretching and strengthening not only alleviated my pain but also improved my flexibility and stability on the course. His personalized routine targeted my specific needs, allowing me to recover quickly and gave me a routine that I could carry forward with me to incorporate into my daily workouts. Thanks to Pat's guidance and support, I was feeling close to 100% in just a few days. I highly recommend Pat to anyone seeking professional, tailored strength coaching. His knowledge and dedication truly make a difference.”

"Pat and I first met back when I was in college as he was my team's strength and conditioning coach. Pat was extremely knowledgeable and professional and helped our team reach new heights through sports performance training. He was very innovative in his approach and placed the student-athletes first. With social media and fitness influencers gaining attraction, it can sometimes be difficult to obtain accurate and reliable information. We’ve remained in touch over the years and he’s always been a trusted source. He has always been more than happy to help and you know the information you are getting is science based and obtained through years of training experience. I’m currently active duty and Pat has been pivotal in my successes through a difficult training and selection program. I would not have graduated if it were not for his training insights. I cannot recommend him enough. You should jump at the opportunity to work with him!”

"Coach Dolan is first class in the sports performance realm. He has always done a fantastic job staying ahead of the most cutting edge topics in performance and finding the most important methods to utilize with his athletes that will truly have an impact. Coach Dolan is well respected by his athletes and peers as his work ethic and ability to connect with individuals speaks for itself. I would highly recommend the work and expertise Coach Dolan brings to the table for anyone looking to raise the bar for their organization. He has a knack for seeking out successful solutions to real world problems."

“I wholeheartedly endorse Pat through Performance Directions - not just because of his innovative and creative approaches to tackling sport science and performance training, but because he's the kind of guy who turns sweat into success and reps into results. From the moment I met Pat back in 2014, I knew he was a "hustler" in the best sense of the word. With a work ethic that could power a small city and a commitment level that rivals a squirrel storing nuts for winter, he's the go-to guy for anyone serious about reaching their peak performance. Pat doesn't just deliver cookie-cutter programs; he crafts tailored solutions with the precision of a neurosurgeon and the finesse of a Michelin-star chef. He's like the Indiana Jones of physical preparation - always on a quest for the Holy Grail of performance enhancement. So, if you're ready to level up your game, let Pat work his magic. Trust me, you'll not only gain a phenomenal coach but also a trusted advisor, mentor, and possibly even a newfound love for getting uncomfortable.”

“Coach Patrick Dolan gave me my first internship opportunity in the field of athletic performance. He not only molded my knowledge and practicality of science, but more importantly, he demonstrated how to be a great human & coach. He has an unrelenting passion for personal and professional growth. His calculated approach, communication skills, and advanced understanding of motivational tactics attribute to his success at the highest level of competitive sport. Patrick’s mastery of training, nutrition, and data driven intervention play a pivotal role in my decision making to this day.”

Having known Pat since 2019, I quickly understood that he has an abundance of drive and determination not only to succeed in his own career but to inspire and motivate others around him. This is one of his many qualities that allows him to connect and build strong relationships with those he works with. Pats knowledge and application as a coach is profound and this is supported by an extensive coaching resume and vast experience working in elite sport. As a coach, he prides himself on organisation and detail and consistently will endure long hours to ensure the job is done to the best of his ability and to meet his high expectations. He, now armed with an academic resume that meets his coaching experience, will be a huge asset to any team or individual looking to find that extra support to excel in their own life, sport, or work.

“Coach Pat has been nothing less than a brother and an inspiration to me. Coach Pat will always be over-prepared and ready for any challenge. As his intern, he made sure I felt empowered and was learning at my own pace throughout the process. More so, Pat answered the bell every day and ensured that the standard of excellence was upheld while keeping the environment fun. My experience with Coach Pat has instilled a confidence that still runs through me to this day! He prepared me to be a leader. I truly see him as one of the best sport practitioners in the world.”

It’s been phenomenal for me to work with Pat. What he brings is a systematic approach to how to optimize our practice from minute 0’ to minute 90’.

“Coach Dolan was my strength and conditioning coach during my junior and senior years at Lindenwood University with our nationally ranked Men’s Lacrosse Program. He is one of the strength coaches who made me fall in love with training. He successfully constructed a program that enabled me to grow and learn about myself. I experienced a ton of growth during his time training me, and to this day, I still use similar training methods that Coach Dolan introduced to me and that I learned work well for me. In truth, he helped me to become the athlete I am today.”
