How it works

  • Before beginning any training program, we conduct a thorough initial consultation and assessment session. This critical first step helps determine program suitability and establishes baseline measurements. During this session, we:

    • Review medical history and previous injuries

    • Discuss sports participation and athletic background

    • Explore performance goals and aspirations

    • Evaluate current physical literacy and movement patterns

  • We prioritise safety and proper progression in all our training methods. Our program follows strict guidelines:

    • No maximal strength testing until proper movement patterns are established

    • Age-appropriate exercise selection and loading

    • Progressive skill development based on individual readiness

    • Continuous technique monitoring and feedback
