WANT TO GAIN A SHARPER EDGE THIS OFF-SEASON AND BE A STRONGER, FASTER, AND MORE POWERFUL ATHLETE IN 2024? ANNOUNCING OUR 2024 ONLINE PRESEASON PROGRAM.
THE MAJORITY OF ATHLETES WILL WANT TO ENTER THE PRE-SEASON:
- FITTER, ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE HARD SESSIONS AHEAD
- BIGGER AND STRONGER, SO THEY CAN HANDLE AND DOMINATE THE KNOCKS, BUMPS AND CONTACTS
- WITH GREATER SPEED, SO THEY CAN OUTRUN THE OPPOSITION.
THAT IS WHERE WE COME IN.
WHY ATHLETE ID? WHY NOW?
OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, THE ‘SEASON’ OF ANY GIVEN SPORT HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY. NOW, AMATEUR SPORTS PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO TRAIN ALL YEAR ROUND AS PROFESSIONALS DO. THE OFF-SEASON USED TO MEAN PUTTING YOUR FEET UP, THESE DAYS IT MEANS YOU CAN PUT YOURSELF TO (SMART) WORK, HONING IN ON ANY WEAKNESSES IN YOUR ARMOUR. ATHLETES WHO CHOOSE TO TAKE IT EASY AND NOT ENHANCE THEIR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE ARE AT AN IMMEDIATE DISADVANTAGE WHEN THE SEASON BEGINS.
IT IS OFTEN ATHLETES WHO ARE MOST SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR SPORT THAT ARE LEAST LIKELY TO ‘TAKE IT EASY’ DURING ANY STAGE OF THE SEASON. THEY ARE OFTEN THE ONES WHO ARE FIRST BACK TO THE GYM OR PITCH AFTER A SEASON ENDS, USUALLY WITH A GENERIC PROGRAM IN HAND. THESE TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE USUALLY GIVEN TO EVERY PLAYER ON THE TEAM, REGARDLESS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL NEEDS YOU MAY HAVE AND YOU ARE LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES TO GET THROUGH IT. MANY ATHLETES ARE WILLING TO PUT IN THE HARD WORK THAT IS REQUIRED, BUT OFTEN THIS DOES NOT TRANSFER INTO RESULTS THAT ARE DESERVED FROM THE AMOUNT OF WORK BEING PUT IN.
IF IT WAS AS EASY AS A GENERIC TRAINING PROGRAM (MOSTLY TERRIBLE .PDF DOCS), WE’D SEE RESILIENT, POWERFUL AND CONFIDENT ATHLETES EVERYWHERE COME DAY 1 OF THE SEASON. BUT WE DON’T. BECAUSE IT’S NOT AS SIMPLE AS A TICK BOX PROGRAM OR FINDING THE LATEST CIRCUS TRICK EXERCISES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. DO WE EXPECT A GOALKEEPER TO COVER THE SAME SPRINT DISTANCE AS A CORNER FORWARD IN A MATCH? NO. DO WE EXPECT A CORNER BACK TO COVER THE SAME TOTAL DISTANCE AS A MIDFIELDER IN A MATCH? NO. SO WHY DO WE EXPECT THE SAME PROGRAM TO WORK FOR EVERY PLAYER, REGARDLESS OF PLAYING POSITION, INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND SO ON?
THROUGH TESTING AND A NEEDS ANALYSIS, WE WILL DETERMINE WHAT AREA OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL SPORT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT AND PUT A PLAN IN PLACE THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GAIN A SHARPER EDGE THIS OFF-SEASON.
WHAT ARE WE OFFERING?
WE ARE OFFERING AN 8-WEEK ONLINE PRESEASON PROGRAM TO ANY SPORT ENTHUSIAST (GAELIC FOOTBALL, SOCCER, BASKETBALL, ATHLETICS AND MANY MORE). THIS INCLUDES A FULLY COMPREHENSIVE INDIVIDUALISED WEEKLY TRAINING PROGRAM, IN-DEPTH TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF YOUR PROGRAM, ALONG WITH WEEKLY CHECK-IN VIDEO CALLS WITH YOUR COACH.
