The Founder's Journey
From National Champion to Performance Architect
My journey in athletics began at 12 years old, driven by a deep fascination with jumping higher and discovering the true limits of physical capability. What began as raw passion evolved into high jump mastery, international competition, and elite athletic performance coaching.
Having competed at the highest youth level in Asia and continued my career across Australia, I witnessed the critical gap back home: immense natural athleticism lacking access to modern biomechanics, rate of force development, and structured power programming. Sri Lanka Dunks is the answer.

The Story
Behind The Movement
The Genesis & National Dominance
Throughout my teenage years, I trained and competed extensively in high jump, developing a deep understanding of jumping mechanics, explosiveness, strength, speed, plyometrics, take-off mechanics, and the relentless discipline required to excel.
In 2017, I had the opportunity to train with Timhu Richards, an esteemed coach associated with Jamaica College in Kingston, Jamaica, gaining firsthand exposure to world-class Jamaican sprint and jump paradigms. From 2015 to 2019, I was ranked #1 in Sri Lanka in youth high jump, went on to place 5th in Asia at the 2018 Youth Asian Athletics Championship in Thailand, and represented Sri Lanka at the South Asian Basketball Games.
Melbourne, Elite Mentorship & The Science
In 2020, I moved to Melbourne, Australia. Here, I had the privilege of working with Sandro Bisetto, an experienced Australian high-performance jumps coach and Athletics Australia Level 5 Academy Coach known for mentoring Olympians and World Championship competitors.
Working with Sandro transformed my understanding of high-jump technique, biomechanics, programming, strength & conditioning, recovery, and long-term athletic development. Alongside placing 4th at the 2021 Victorian State Athletics Championship and competing for Victoria University Basketball (2021–2022), I immersed myself in advanced performance science, including methodologies learned through NBA Strength & Conditioning Coach Jimmy Mullins.
Sri Lanka Dunks: The Physical Movement
Recognizing that Sri Lanka's elite raw talent lacked access to structured athletic performance systems, Sri Lanka Dunks was launched. In 2024, we held our inaugural Vertical Jump Camp in Sri Lanka. We returned in 2025 to elevate the standard further, coaching and testing a new wave of high-intent athletes.
Today, Sri Lanka Dunks is evolving into a full online ecosystem and in-person academy dedicated to empowering Sri Lankan athletes worldwide to jump higher, move faster, and build resilient athletic bodies.
