The athletes authority Story

Athletes Authority | Founder

BY KARL GOODMAN, THE FOUNDER.

An inside joke amongst the strength and conditioning community is that we’re all failed athletes who live vicariously through the athletes we train. I’m definitely no exception.

By the time I had finished my university degree, I had tried and failed twice at being an athlete. The first was as a baseballer. I was quick to find success, representing NSW by the time I was 12. By the time I was 16, I was burned out, exhausted and without the support network to deal with the pressure. I quit and never looked back. I wish I didn’t.

A few years later, I got into cycling (I know, one of those guys everyone loves to hate). I was good at that too. By the time I was 23, I was racing at the highest standard in Australia. The pressure got to me again. When the going got tough, I couldn’t handle it. I quit, again.

At this point, you’re probably wondering why you’d want to join an athlete development facility where one of the owners had two incredible opportunities to be a professional athlete but didn’t take either of them. I don’t have a good defence.

I tell my athletes about this all the time. It’s the part of my story that I wish I could rewrite. I wish I knew then, what I know now because I would have found somewhere like Athletes Authority so I didn’t bear the weight of the pressure alone. To make sure my experience isn’t in vain, we’ve created a facility that a lot of people call ‘the institute of sport in private sector’ to help athletes achieve what I wasn’t able to.


It’s a similar story for Lachy. A tonne of talent that never got realised. The difference between Lachy and I is that he was able to transfer his energy into the success of his athletes from an early age.

By the time he was 24, he became the GWS Giants second ever employee. He helped transform a young squad of 18-year-olds into premiership contenders only a few years later. He then got approached by the Parramatta Eels in 2018 to help bring the club back to its proud former glory. It only took him two seasons to bring them back into finals contention (can you tell I’m proud?).

If you would like to hear about our story in more detail, we share the origins of our story on our podcast. You can listen to that below.

Being at AA has been the dopest experience coming here. Having knowledgeable coaches to coach you similar if not the same as college athletics in the States has been awesome. Being in that atmosphere each session allows me to get better each time I train. Best high performance gym in Australia hands down.
