Founder & Director

A former athlete with a passion for development, Malachi founded DDW to make high-performance knowledge and resources accessible to athletes with elite aspirations.

Coming from a football background, with experience both inside and outside professional environments, Malachi is equipped with a strong understanding of the physical, technical, and psychological demands and challenges of elite sport. With nearly a decade of coaching experience, his work focuses on developing robust, adaptable athletes through sound movement principles and long-term development strategies.

DDW was established to create a culture for those who refuse to settle for less — athletes committed to consistent improvement, accountability, and mastering the fundamentals that underpin high performance.

    “DDW has been great for me, I’m relieved I was able to find them. They focus on game specifics which separates them from others. It’s important because making your training translate to the field is difficult. It’s led by a great guy who makes sessions enjoyable. Great program.”

  • Man lifting a heavy barbell in a gym, kneeling on one knee, and grimacing from effort.

    “Ever since working closely with Malachi, not only have I improved physically but I have also developed a training philosophy that allows me to train smarter and perform better. He is “that guy” when it comes to Strength and Conditioning, I have the questions and he has the answers.”

    “ I came to DDW wanting to unlock the full potential of my body, since then i’ve been feeling more explosive and conditioned for my position. The sessions are completely designed to the player, thats the most important thing for me, the coaching is great and forces you to break barriers ”
