THE WORK STARTS HERE.01 / FOUNDATIONS
01 — THE ATHLETE APPROACH
Grounded in movement.
Built with strength.
Athletic development starts with your foundations. It grows through training the whole body.
I programme sessions in a deliberate order: activation, athletic movement, a main lift, supporting strength work and core. Fascia-focused training, plyometrics and traditional strength work all have a place within that structure.
Biomechanics is part of the coaching throughout: paying attention to how you organise your body, make contact with the ground and coordinate a movement. The aim is to improve how you move as well as what you can lift. Your goals and experience shape the balance.
HOW I BUILD A SESSION
My sessions follow five stages. The exercises change with the day and the person; the structure gives the training a clear direction.
Inside a session: the five stages
- 01
Activate & prepare.
Activation first, with mobility or light plyometrics where appropriate. Prepare for the movements coming next.
- 02
Move with intent.
Plyometrics, movement drills or sprints, depending on the session. A dedicated stage for athletic movement before the main lifting work.
- 03
Build with a main lift.
A primary loaded exercise, such as a back squat, forms the building stage of the session.
- 04
Develop your strength.
A block of around four exercises, selected for the day’s focus. On a lower-body day, that means supporting lower-body strength work.
- 05
Finish with core.
A dedicated core section completes the session.
Fascia-focused work and attention to biomechanics run through the programme—from the feet and ankles to how you jump, sprint and lift.
02 — THE TRAINING, UP CLOSE
Different demands.
One approach.
Three parts of the training. See the movements, then explore how they can fit your programme.
02 / PLYOMETRICS
Jump. Land. React.
Jumping and hopping work with a focus on movement quality, rhythm and the demands of each drill.
03 / STRENGTH
Build under load.
Controlled loaded movements complement the reactive work. Here, a split squat brings single-leg strength into the session.
BIOMECHANICS THROUGHOUT
How you move matters. Coaching looks at positioning, control and coordination across your exercises, with the aim of developing better movement mechanics.
03 — PERSONALISED PROGRAMMING
Your training.
With a plan.
For people who want a structured programme to follow independently.
Built around you.
A personalised plan shaped around your goals, experience, schedule and available equipment.
Fascia-focused work, plyometrics and traditional strength training sit within a clear session structure. The balance and exercises depend on what you want to develop.
