“For SPORTING PARENTS & Aspiring YOUTH ATHLETES WHO WANT AN IMMERSIVE TRAINING EXPERIENCE LIKE NOTHING ELSE."
here's your chance to enrol your sporting child into two days of sports performance training they'll never forget. ..
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
SPEED CAMP
This school holidays on the 8th and 10th of October, we're taking a select group of 20 serious young athletes (ages 11-16) on a 2-day immersive strength & conditioning experience. These 20 youth athletes will learn how to maximise strength and power in the gym, run faster and be more explosive out on field, and recover like a pro at our state-of-the-art training facility. If you're the parent of a rising superstar, this is the school holidays event you don't want to miss.
Our Team Has Been Trusted By:
most young athletes never get the chance to train like a pro... until now.
Every kid dreams of training like a pro athlete and working alongside pro sport coaches. But so many athletes only get the chance to actually experience what it's like WHEN they turn pro, missing out on the chance to learn how to move well, sprint effectively, and recover when it matters most. For the first time, we're running our School Holidays Performance Camp, a 2-day training experience specifically designed for school-age athletes to learn from strength and conditioning coaches with decades of experience at the highest level. Learn speed from the Olyroos Sprints & Strength coach, strength & power training from a Swans Academy strength coach, and nutrition and recovery from a GWS Giants Dietician.

Here's what the Pro's say
“Love working with Lachie at Athletes Authority, a coach that values an athlete’s feedback and implements it into their training program. Rare to have a coach with so much knowledge yet always looking to improve. Knowing every athlete is an individual and doing his best to come up with a plan to suit. The best always look to get better.”

THE 3 PILLARS OF the SCHOOL HOLIDAYS PERFORMANCE camp
here is why your sporting kids will love THE speed CAMP:
1. They'll learn the ins-and-outs of speed training and running technique
Fast and explosive athletes represent the peak of athleticism. The problem is, almost no athletes get taught how to run -- they just run. Because of this, learning optimal running and sprint technique offers the best opportunity for athletes to improve their game. During this camp, we'll be teaching 20 lucky athletes how to develop the gift of speed.
2. they'll master the basics of training in the gym for athletic strength & power
There is no denying that strength and power form the foundation of an athletic body, but most young athletes never get the chance to master how they move in the gym (because sport commitments are so extensive). We'll teach the basics of mastering strength and conditioning training, and open the door to a stronger, more injury-resilient physique.
3. They'll learn how to dial in their nutrition and recovery so they can turn up on game-day ready to go
The third and final pillar of our Performance camp is establishing the right habits around nutrition and recovery. Because an athlete's performance is a combination of their fitness minus their fatigue (P = Fi - Fa), improving recovery between training and competition can often be the biggest shortcut to improved performance.
How it works
we're re-imagining the school sports camp
Experience a new standard of school holiday camp at Australia's most trusted Sports Performance Facility. Parents will be able to drop off their rising stars at 9am and won't have to pick them up until 3pm. Just pack food and we'll do the rest. Here's the Itinerary:

YOUTH ATHLETE CASE STUDY
Dan Beretta
SPORT: FOOTBALL | GOAL: IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AS HE PURSUES A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS CAREER.
“It’s given him the edge he’s been looking for.” It’s not every day that we get to train an athlete as committed & focused as Dan Beretta. Mark, Dan’s father, is no stranger to sports. Having been the sports presenter for Sunrise for over a decade, he has seen first-hand what it takes for an athlete to succeed. He understands the importance of work ethic, discipline, talent and teamwork. Just as importantly, he knows that no athlete is ever self-made.
That’s why Mark and Rachel chose Athletes Authority to support Dan’s athleticism in 2020, where we’ve been looking after him ever since.

Here's everything you get in:
SCHOOL HOLIDAY spEed camp
01. A COMPLETE HOW-TO GUIDE ON STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE YOUTH ATHLETE
Over two value-packed days, we'll teach your aspiring son or daughter every key major movement pattern to work on in training, and the most important progressions to focus on (and what to avoid). These movement patterns have been tested and proven with hundreds of youth athletes that have gone onto become strong and resilient you sporting adults.
02. COMPLETE ATHLETIC PROFILING AND TESTING SO YOUR CHILD CAN IDENTIFY THEIR STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
You'll be taking advantage of the latest cutting-edge sports science technology that pinpoints your child's areas of opportunity across the 6 key athletic domains: movement capability, strength, power, speed, resilience and fitness.
03. LEARN THE PHILOSOPHIES OF LONG-TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT SO YOU SET YOURSELF & YOUR CHILD UP FOR SUCCESS
Too many athletes rush the process of becoming athletic -- resulting in burn out, injuries, or fatigue. With youth athletes, the training principles that work for adults don't apply - you have to take a completely different approach. We'll teach you these principles so you have them for life.
04. sharpen reaction time & build explosive power WITH AGILITY COACHING
This is one of the lowest hanging fruits for most young athletes and one of the areas that rarely get trained in season. We both know that when winning and losing is measured in centimetres and milliseconds, every little bit counts, butt reaction time, change of direction and agility are hardly ever trained.
05. LEARN THE POSITIONS AND SHAPES THAT OPTIMISE MAX SPEED AND ACCELERATION
We've all seen how one breakaway moment can change a result. We'll teach your son or daughter all the ins-and-outs of max speed technique so they can run faster and more naturally.
06. LEARN HOW TO INTEGRATE BEST-PRACTICE recovery so youR CHILD CAN RECOVER FROM TRAINING & COMPETITION
Young athletes know how to work hard; they often have training loads higher than even some professional athletes. But for most youth athletes, they under-recover, leading to burn out, low motivation and potentially even stress-related injuries. We'll teach you our famous recovery protocols that have been trusted by 1000's of athletes to get them performing at their best.
07. mental skills training helps youR CHILD master the game inside THEIR head.
Almost every youth athlete has moments of self-doubt. Our Online mental skills training allows them to work on their mental game, privately, and in their own time. Taught by reknowned mental skills coach David King, it's one of the best online training platforms available specifically designed for the athlete.
08. ALL OUR INJURY RESILIENCE PROTOCOLS YOU THAT CAN DO AT HOME
The biggest reason young athletes quit sport is because of injury and fatigue. Our resilience protocols, designed to help athletes stay robust and injury free across very major body part, are included as part of your 2-day training camp enrolment.
09. gap-free sports physiotherapy at your fingertips
if you need an injury assessed or want a second opinion, you'll get exclusive access to same day review at a Gap-Free price (just swipe your private health care card).
