Junior Athlete Development with a purpose •

Empowering Junior Athletes for a Thriving, Enduring, and Healthy Sporting Path

The chance to be a professional athlete lives in this small moment of time, often missed by most parents.

But it's not your fault!

It might feel like it's too early to be thinking of your son or daughter's professional sporting career at 11 years old.

But, contrary to what you may think. ...

Now (11-14 years) is EXACTLY the time we need to be thinking about what we can be preparing for, to give your child a real chance at a professional career.

Don't get us wrong our first priority when working with junior athletes is to help them form a positive relationship with health, fitness and the gym.

But, we like to help our athletes WITHOUT all the gimmicks.

Too often we see "kids" or "junior" training programs in gyms that more resemble a playground than an environment that encourages improvement....

Our Long Term Athlete Development model is designed to ensure that the Junior Athletes that have a clear pathway in their training to improved performance, safety, Injury resilience and enjoyment.

If you want to give your athletic child the boost in confidence, motivation and get them surrounded by other kids with determined mindsets.

The Threshold Junior Development Program is for them!

We let our results do the talking

"My teenage boys have been training with Callan for 12mths now. My kids not only look forward to training but also hanging out with their coach. Callan is a fantastic influence on my boys, a great teacher and the reason they are now achieving their fitness goals."

OUR JUNIOR

DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

1. Measure and Plan

all our athletes and Programs we want to ensure that everything we do in the gym is truly helping them develop as an athelte.

We have a number of Key Performance Indicators that we test for which helps us create an "Athletic Profile" For everyone that comes through the doors.

These KPI's helps us to identify areas of strength and weakness so we can develop a resilient and dynamic athlete.

2. Athlete Empowerment

Coming into a new environment, especially a gym, can be an intimidating step for junior athletes.

Our main priority with junior athletes is helping them create a life long and positive relationship with the gym and training.

We know how beneficial training in the gym and with a supportive team around you can be so its a major priority to make sure these athletes feel empowered and supported.

One key way we do this is through their individual program, we take the approach as a facilitator NOT a dictator in the
training session and help guide the athlete through instead of demanding they do this or that.

3. Quality Movement and Safe Training

The Key to consistent performance and injury resilience is quality movement done repeatedly.

Because of this we ensure that our exercise grading system is designed in a way that each workout can be scaled to the athletes individual needs while teaching them the quality of movement required for performance.

We will never push an athlete into an exercise that they haven't ticked off the competencies for, that way we ensure that athletes will remain safe but also training to a level that pushes them.

A Message from the Coach • RE: Setting Youth Athletes up for Long Term Success... •

RE: Setting Youth Athletes up for Long Term Success

One of the toughest things I see in the sporting world happen is an athlete that had all the potential in the world but simply lacked some guidance and a pathway to their dream.

This wasted potential happens week in and week out.

Every Junior athlete has the dreams of becoming a professional and playing their sport in front of a crowd of screaming fans...

And every parent wants to see their child feel fulfilled, successful and happy in life.

Unfortunately it isn't as simple as: Have big dreams + Go to training = Be successful

If you really do want to set a junior athlete up to be succesful you must tick off many boxes to give them the best oppourtunity.

Sadly, from what I have seen it is simply poorly done in Australia..

Gimmick gym programs that look more like circus acts, coaches treating sessions more like baby siting than actual coaching or worst of all just doing nothing at all....

Trust me I have seen it all.

HOWEVER!

This also provides an oppourtunity for the athletes that do seek out help a MASSIVE advantage. After spending time in the U.S Division 1 College System (The University of Louisville) I have seen first hand athletes that reap the rewards of a consistent training program starting from a young age. Simply put, these athletes are just better than their age matched counterparts here in Australia and the main difference is not the sport or athletes them selves its the long term relationship they have built with training in the gym, starting from primary school!

After having my eyes awakened this I knew we had to change something if we wanted to compete.....

Taking what we implemented at the Collegiate level and with the Professional athletes around Australia I have developed our Long Term Athlete Development Program that will prepare the Junior Athletes to be successful, strong and resilient at all levels of competition.

If you want a Complete and Long Term system that prepares you to achieve your dreams of high level sport than the Junior Athlete Development Program is for you. And if you really do want the extra edge on your opponents this is the simplest and most proven way to take that edge.
