Coach
Kris Miles

Take your game to the next level and train like a pro by developing your speed, agility and explosive power, whilst building a strong, robust body to minimise your risk of injury (for under $10AUD per week, for 24 weeks).

This program will focus on the demands specific to Australian Rules Football and help you develop the athletic attributes relevant to your sport as well as bulletproof your body against common injuries sustained in-season. Over the course of 24 weeks it starts with a general preparation phase to master the basics, and transitions to more specific and relevant phases as the season nears.

This program includes 3 gym based sessions as well as 3 running based sessions to target all aspects of your athletic ability including;

  • Speed & agility to help break away from packs and evade your opponent

  • Strength & power to break out of congested packs and tackle harder

Repeat sprint ability and endurance to run your opponent off their legs and finish games strong
