Athlete Development.
Our Athlete Development program is designed for elite or developing adult athletes who are looking for a high performance preparation plan to take their sport to the next level.
This is a bespoke program that is individualised around the athlete’s age, sport and physical performance needs and goals. The Athlete Development program is designed to leave no stone unturned and encompasses everything an athlete needs to prepare to perform at their peak in their sport.
Program includes.
Needs Analysis Questionnaire.
This questionnaire will be sent to you once you purchase the Athlete Development program and will take up to 10-minutes to complete. It is a detailed questionnaire designed to help our expert coaches understand your needs and goals, training experience, injury history, training schedule and any other relevant information we may need to help us create your program.
Physical Performance Assessment.
The assessment session involves a range of tests and presents a snapshot of your overall athletic capability. Every test will be targeted to you and your relevant sport, however the majority of athletes will be tested on the following:
Quality of movement
Joint Range of Motion
Maximum & Reactive strength (explosiveness)
Lower and upper body power
Running Technique
Individualised Program.
Once you have completed your testing session and questionnaire your coach will spend a considerable amount of time constructing your individualised program. Your program will be completely unique to you and your needs, goals and sport. We believe that the best results can be achieved in the most efficient time frame when the program is tailored to each unique athlete. Too many athletes choose cookie-cutter programs that have been generalised to their sport and we believe this will not reap the best results for athletes looking to perform their best and outplay their opponents.
The Athlete Development program includes a periodised strength and conditioning program, which is updated regularly. We have several membership options available, at different price points based on how many sessions you wish to train with us. This is a holistic program that focuses on improving your physical fitness as well as maintaining your optimum wellbeing.
Your program will be accessed through our online programming software TeamBuildr, which you can access through the TeamBuildr application on your phone or tablet.
Orientation Sessions.
The orientation sessions are where a coach will take you through your program to ensure you are performing each exercise correctly and understand the purpose and progression of each exercise. These sessions will be roughly every 8-10-weeks.
Small Group Sessions.
The linchpin to the Geelong Athlete Centre is the small group sessions. These sessions are capped at 8 athletes per coach and are similar to supervised gym sessions, where you will be completing your own gym program with coach supervision. These sessions typically run M-F 6-11:30am & 3:30-7:15pm and on Saturdays 8-10:15am.
We believe that strength coaching is crucial to an athlete’s success, however not everyone can afford one-on-one coaching, so these small groups make high quality performance training more affordable. There is also the bonus of training amongst other athletes, which aids in creating an inspiring and motivating culture.
