About Us

ABOUT US

My name is Egidio Sardinha, owner of High Hopes Goalkeeping and Conditioning. I started High Hopes with the aim of giving all athletic and physical potential, by offering professional, quality high performance training.

 

I believe that anything in life can be achieved, with the right mindset as well as the right work ethic.

I strive to give all my clients the best personalised training they can receive to help them achieve their athletic and physical performance goals.

 

I played as a professional goalkeeper for Eastern Suburbs in New Zealand, after a serious back injury my playing career was cut short, I have since been dedicating myself over the past 10 years to a career as an elite goalkeeper coach, as well as qualified sports and exercise specialist. I have attained various certification and qualifications over the years in South Africa and abroad (NZ, AUS, ENG, SCOT). I have also amassed coaching experience working for some reputable organisations  including assisting with fitness testing at the Investec international rugby academy and Sporting Lisbon academies.
