We build pupils resilience on and off the field and equip them with them skills and knowledge required to build a high performance life.
We believe that your school years are your golden window of opportunity to make it in professional sport. Our ADP will provide them with the expertise and behaviours needed to succeed.
Our programming is bespoke to each age group, focusing on the physical qualities required to excel in their chosen sport. Our live load moderation technology reduces the risk of injury by adapting the sessions to the pupils energy levels.

Our goal is to work side by side with the coaching staff and enhance what they are already delivering. We appreciate that coaching a large number or pupils can be a challenging job. The Athlete Development Programme collates player data and allows us to feedback to coaches in a simple and easy to digest manor therefore allowing coaches to do what they do best, coach. Chris will have monthly calls with the coach to report on all of the data. This ranges from full transparency of individual pupil participation through to progressions in the gym.
