SASĀ Individualised S&C
Ā
This is our more comprehensive package forĀ HTASĀ athletes, and replicates the support and provision found in elite sports academies. This program best suits those highly invested in their sports performance.
TheĀ academy journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our coaches, either in-person or on video call, who will work with you to establishĀ yourĀ goals, gain an understanding of your starting point (including injury history and a movement screen), then build a program that fits in with your time availability, preferences and training environment.
Coaches will design a strength and conditioning program that can be completed at home, school or your local gym, and will be delivered via our coaching app, where you can record your progress, message coaches and send videos or pictures of your training for feedback.
The coaching team will progress your program regularly in response to your progress, and are available for a weekly Q&A.
Academy athletes also receive full access to our online Athlete Education Portal, containing several mini-courses on the specifics of nutrition, recovery and mindset for health and performance.
Finally, all athletes have full access to our coaching facility in Wiltshire, where we hold semi-private training. We already have several athletes from Hampshire in the Academy, and many train remotely with a monthly in-person visit (though this is not necessary).
HTAS athletes receive 20% off academy membership, making it Ā£39 per month for students and Ā£55 for adults, with no minimum commitment.

"Bath Rugby have worked with the academy for 3 years across our 7s and partnership with Bath RFC Ladies. Their ability to connect and provide individualised support is what helps our players reach their potential. They have directly contributed to the successful return of injured players to full match fitness and low re-injury rates."
