If you're here to kick tyres, close this page now.
We don't do free chats, we don't compete on price, and we don't chase anyone. We read every application and we turn people away. Everything below is here to save both of us the time.
The reality about speed.
Our elite standard for a 15 year old is 32 kilometres per hour. Running 35 kilometres per hour and above is professional territory, and almost nobody who ever plays the game gets there.
The players on these pages are the best results out of more than 1,000 athletes we have measured: the most driven players, who turned up every week for years. That's the level. That's where this takes you when you do the work.
What you get.
Every number measured: on electronic timing gates and 240 frames per second film. Never guessed, and every test chosen because it tracks real performance.
Your numbers against the level above: set against your age group and against the world's best.
The limiter costing you the most: named on your own footage, in a written report plus a 10 to 15 minute voiceover from Anthony.
Your priorities, in order: three of them, each with a 12 month target.
A straight answer: if the programme isn't worth doing for your player, even if that loses us the sale.
What decides the result.
Turning up: every session, on time.
The work between sessions: done, filmed and sent to us every week.
Time on the programme: most athletes stay two years or more. This is a build, not a ten week course.
What you need to bring.
An athlete 13 to 24 on a high-level pathway: academy, rep or state league, semi-pro or professional. Football, AFL, rugby league, rugby union, basketball, athletics or any other sport.
A player who wants this themselves: if it's only your idea, it won't work.
The long term: face to face every week, and the work done in between.
A realistic budget: we go through the investment on the call.
Straight answers: turning up when you say you will, and honest answers about where your player is.
Don't apply if.
Your athlete is under 13, or not on a high-level pathway yet: we'll tell you where to start instead. Over 24? The online assessment is built for you.
You want a quick fix: before trials in three weeks.
You're shopping on price: comparing us with the cheapest session in Sydney.
You're just looking.
If that reads as harsh, good. The families who get the most from this read it and apply anyway.
