The reason people think he is inexperienced is because they don't know of him. Some trainers have massive egos and sound good, but are overrated. Ones like Julian, meanwhile, are unassuming and just keen to do the best job they can.

Julian could have shouted from the rooftops about what a great trainer he is and attracted some names to his gym, but he's not that sort of person. He has a good day job and was only involved in the pro game to help Gary and Tony Aicheson out. To my knowledge, he never took his entitled percentage off them either.
