Balke Nill

Blake Nill (Head Coach - University of British Columbia)

“At UBC, we recruit on the foundation of what is necessary to win championships. Those athletes who attract our interest ultimately possess qualities necessary to garner on-field success. We are simply not prepared to waiver on those expectations, and so remain very cognizant of the high school programs, and those in the performance business where our incoming student-athletes tend to originate. Coach Alex and his team at SMART Performance operate at the pinnacle of the performance industry in Calgary. SMART athletes are not only physically prepared, but understand the underlying personality traits of the “A” mindset. This mentality will not let you be outworked, enables you to accept coaching, and importantly, understands the role of science (nutrition, rest, etc.) in athletic development. “A” minded individuals also take these characteristics to the classroom, which is always part of the formula. To the point, UBC Football trusts that those athletes who come through SMART will have an easier time transitioning to university football and not be surprised by the level of expectation and accountability that we place on our incoming athletes. Coach Blake Nill 175 career wins (4th all-time in U-Sports history) 3-time National Champion Only U-Sports coach to win national championships with two different programs and coach in the national final in 4 different decades.”

Carly is fantastic! I have been to a few physios and even based on just the initial assessment I can tell hands down, she’s the best ever! She used speciality equipment to see the areas we needed to focus on, she took the time to measure and assess my knee. She even developed a realistic plan that actually fits in my busy life. Feeling super hopeful after going to Carly.

I’ve been struggling with an exceptionally tricky rehab. Happy to have found Wes. In just a few sessions his needling skills & program have helped immensely.

I tore my MCL and ACL in June 2025. Once I was cleared for physio, I started at a large chain clinic. I made some progress there, but after a couple of months my ROM stalled. For the last month, nothing in my program changed, even though I wasn’t improving, and I was told this might be “as good as it gets.” That didn’t sit right with me. Within two weeks with Wes, I saw more progress than I had in the previous month!
