Provide scientifically designed strength and conditioning programs that develop key components of basketball performance including strength, fitness, speed, agility and dynamic jump.

Programs designed and tailored to the individual players needs with respect to age, gender and capacity.

We provide an initial assessment of your athlete’s baseline strength, fitness, and functional capacity metrics, to be evaluated throughout the programme to maximise needs versus outcome improvements.

We structure our strength and conditioning program around accountability, where each child is taught how to monitor their progress to reach their desired goals.

Provide education around goal setting including the steps and skills to monitor, progress and reach both individual and team goals.

We provide education and support for dealing with sports related performance anxiety, managing outside expectations and minimising burnout.

We maximise athletic through teaching resilience around feedback, failure and expectation, whilst maximising performance outcomes through visualisation, regular feedback from coaches and a supportive environment.

We recognise that resilient athlete’s keep moving forward for the good of themselves, the team and their broader community.

Recovery

Minimising fatigue, injury, illness and burnout is the cornerstone to maximising athletic performance outcomes and is integral for the longevity of an athlete’s career.

Through our Recovery Skills Development we:

Rest and recovery are essential for athletes as they promote physical recovery, prevent injuries, and optimise performance.

Teach athletes the foundational skills involved with active recovery to maintain, develop and restore the body after training in the gym, on the court or after a game.

We provide education and support around prevention and injury management.

We will educate your athlete on the vital components of rest, time off and activity diversity to maximise performance.
