At Strive Coaching, training is designed to help athletes develop the physical qualities that directly improve performance in their sport. Whether you compete at a high level, play recreationally, or simply want to move and perform better, coaching focuses on building the key foundations of athletic performance: strength, power, speed, mobility, and resilience to injury.

​

Every programme is tailored to the athlete, taking into account their sport, position, training history, and current physical strengths and weaknesses. The aim is not just to work harder, but to train smarter so that every session contributes to measurable improvements in performance.

​

Strength & Power Development

Developing strength is one of the most effective ways to improve sports performance. Greater strength supports faster sprinting, more powerful jumping, improved change of direction, and greater resilience to physical demands during competition. Training is structured to progressively build strength while maintaining high-quality movement and technique.

​

Sport-Specific Physical Preparation

Different sports require different physical qualities. Programmes are designed to reflect the specific demands of each athlete’s sport, whether that involves explosive power, repeated sprint ability, rotational strength, or overall physical robustness. This ensures the work done in the gym transfers directly to performance on the field, court, or track.

​

Velocity Based Training (VBT)

Strive Coaching now incorporates Velocity Based Training (VBT) for 1-to-1 clients. VBT uses technology to measure the speed of each lift, providing real-time feedback on how quickly the bar is moving.

​

Rather than relying only on estimated percentages or fixed weights, VBT allows training loads to be adjusted based on the athlete’s actual performance on the day. This ensures athletes are always training at the intensity needed to develop the specific quality targeted in that session, whether that is maximum strength, explosive power, or speed-strength.

​

Key benefits of VBT include:

• Maximising training effectiveness by selecting the optimal load for each session

• Improving explosive power, which is critical for most sports

• Managing fatigue and recovery, helping athletes avoid unnecessary overtraining

• Objective performance tracking, allowing progress to be measured accurately over time

• ​

By combining evidence-based strength and conditioning methods with the precision of VBT, Strive Coaching ensures that each session delivers the greatest possible return for the athlete’s time and effort.

​

Long-Term Athletic Development

Beyond short-term improvements, coaching emphasises long-term development. Athletes build strong movement patterns, improve mobility and stability, and develop the physical qualities that support consistent performance and reduced injury risk.

Through structured programming, expert coaching, and data-driven training methods like VBT, Strive Coaching helps athletes become stronger, faster, more powerful, and better prepared to perform in their sport.
