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.”
