High Performance Youth Athlete (£200/month)
This is our most comprehensive package for St Mary's athletes, and replicates the support and provision found in elite sports academies. This program best suits those highly invested in their sports performance.
The journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our coaches, either in-person or on video call, who will work with you to establish the young athlete's goals, gain an understanding of their starting point (including injury history and a movement screen), then build a program that fits in with your time availability, preferences and training environment.
This will include a weekly one to one session with one of our expert coaches, at our facility a five minute drive from the school grounds.
Additionally, our coaches will design supporting sessions that can be completed at home or at school, 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.
