I'm Mike, the founder of Yuperform - a former frontline police officer turned performance coach, dedicated to helping first responders develop the physical and mental resilience required to thrive in demanding careers.

After serving seven years with Victoria Police, I gained firsthand experience of the unique challenges policing places on both the body and mind. In a profession where performance is expected regardless of fatigue, stress, or adversity, being physically prepared isn't a luxury - it's a necessity.

Throughout my career, fitness was never about aesthetics alone. It was about capability, resilience, and the confidence to perform when it matters most. I recognised a significant gap between general fitness and the real-world demands of emergency service work, and I saw too many capable individuals struggle because they weren't adequately prepared for the realities of the job.

That experience became the foundation of Yuperform.

Today, I work with first responders to build the strength, fitness, and resilience to excel in their roles. My coaching philosophy is built on practical experience, proven training principles, and a deep understanding of the unique demands faced by those who serve their communities.

Whether you're preparing to try out for a specialist unit, entering the recruitment process, or looking to elevate your performance within your current role, my mission is simple:

To help you perform at your highest level, build lasting resilience, and develop the confidence to meet any challenge the job demands.
