I help junior and youth footballers stay fast, fit and strong.

MY MISSION

To ensure physical ability is never the reason our players fall short. I aim to improve acceleration and deceleration qualities while also minimising risk of injury with the players I work with. Every session and interaction with my clients is held to the highest professional standards.

Achieve Your Goals With In-Person Training

For every 100 group sign ups, we fund a full season for a footballer in need, giving everyone the chance to play.

Group Speed & Agility Sessions

This option is best for players who thrive in a high energy team based environment and are motivated by competition. Group speed & agility sessions are high energy, fun and include a variety of dynamic drills, games and exercises that involve working together and or competing against each other as a team.

2:1 Strength & Conditioning

This is a great option for players who enjoy training in a focused environment while still benefiting from friendly competition. Our 2:1 sessions blend individualised programming with the drive of training alongside a teammate pushing players to be their best.

1:1 Strength & Conditioning

The 1:1 sessions are best for players who are highly intrinsically motivated with each session being fully individualised to meet the specific needs of the athlete. This approach helps each player reach their full athletic potential in a supportive, focused environment.

Online Programmes

PROGRESSIVE ELITE

Progressive Elite is a 12-week fully personalised coaching programme for ambitious footballers. Players follow a tailored strength and conditioning plan to build strength and explosiveness, starting with an initial consultation. It includes recovery protocols, nutritional support, and regular 1:1 calls to track progress.

QUICKSTART: COMING SOON 

A programme for juniors ( aged 9-12) to complete at home with no equipment required. Over the course of 8 weeks, through progressive bodyweight training, junior players develop balance, coordination, core stability, and movement control through age appropriate sessions. The goal of the Quickstart programme is to decrease young players' overall injury risk by teaching them how to control their bodies, building a strong foundation before moving into youth football.

ACCELERATE: COMING SOON 

Building on the foundation established in QuickStart, the Accelerate programme is designed for youth players (13-18) to develop strength, explosiveness and agility through structured, progressive bodyweight training. Each session enhances athletic performance while respecting the unique growth and developmental needs of youth players. With no equipment required, accelerate can be completed on the pitch, at home, or in small training groups making it both highly accessible and effective for players.

Testimonials

“I started working with the Progressive Athlete towards the middle to the end of the 2021/2022 season in the national league. I wanted to get quicker and stronger over 5-10 yards. He assessed me and immediately got to work. We started off with two sessions a week and dialed it back based on my loading/demand of my team-based training sessions. Everything was specific to explosive movement and intent when powering through on my take off. Focusing on the obscure details and improving my fundamental movements when sprinting and pivoting helped me gain the extra step I needed when challenging for a ball or gaining an advantage while dribbling.”

“Braidon’s club run sessions in Term 2 and 3 had a huge positive impact on my sons performance. He loved the sessions and was always highly engaged. The training focused on building strength, speed, agility, and movement quality in a way that was age appropriate and football specific. We saw clear improvements in his physical strength, balance, confidence, and overall athleticism. These gains translated directly onto the football field, with better movement and improved match readiness. Overall, the work Braidon has done has significantly supported both his on field performance and long term physical development.”
