Who we are, and who we are not... What we do, and what we do not... Sometimes the land of sport performance coaching is misunderstood by athletes and parents. Here is a quick, simplified snippet of what performance coaching involves at ACE Performance. Always happy to answer questions about this 😊 #athlete #youthathlete #youngathletes #youngathlete #athletes #coach #performancecoach #coachesofaustralia #melbourne #coffsharbour #strengthtraining #sports #exercises #fitness #speedtraining #fyp #fypaustralia🇦🇺 #fypaustralia
Wall Drills for Sprinting Wall drills are a fantastic option when learning and refining sprinting postures. The wall creates context that allows for the athlete to learn the correct angle and leg action during early-stage acceleration. No matter the variation shown in the videos there are always the following three key areas to focus on Straight line from back foot to shoulder Active foot on the ground Neutral head position If you can nail these three areas consistently on the wall you can now begin to translate the same angles and leg action to the acceleration phase of your sprint! #athlete #youthathlete #youngathletes #sprinting #walldrills #legsprint #speedtraining #strengthtraining #agilitytraining #acceleration #gym #training #exercises #fitness #melbourne #coffsharbour #fyp
Single Leg Plyos youth Hops and bounds ae a great way to challenge our youth athlete’s ability to produce force but also absorb it when landing on one foot. For youth athletes, we like to start on the lower end in terms of intensity and gradually work our way up for single leg work. Here are a few examples of some of the single leg plyos we do with our youth athletes from where to start to where to try get to Lateral bounding - pause between each one, then make it repetitive Zig Zag bounding - same as lateral Hurdle Hops (w/ a bounce) – the bounce allows the athlete to reset themselves between jumps Hops for distance – chaining jumps together Continuous hurdle hops – goal is to be quick off the ground Forward bounding – aim is to try float through the air #athlete #youthathlete #sports #strengthtraining #jump #gym #jumps #training #sports #exercises #bounding #lateralbounding #zigzagbounding #melbourne #coffsharbour #hurdlehops #fyp
The art and use of rotation at speed. Sport is not always played in straight lines but running straight is an athlete’s best chance of having/maintaining their top speed during portions of the game. Which is where being able to disassociate from the upper body and hip when you run can be extremely useful tool in an athlete’s trick bag. By being able to run in a straight line with our lower body and turn our shoulders and ultimately the head we can continue to stay at high speeds whilst scanning the play, without losing sight or slowing down as a result. Shown above is a video demonstrating a way to teach athletes to get up to pace then be able to turn and hold with the upper body. Generally, this drill is done best over greater distances to allow for more time spent in their upright running. #athlete #youthathletes #youthathlete #youthathleticdevelopment #upperbodyworkout #lowerbodyworkout #strengthtraining #speedtraining #agilitytraining #training #gym #athletedevelopment #sports #melbournesports #melbourne #coffsharbour #fyp
Congratulations to our young superstar tennis athlete, Nia! 🎾 She was lucky enough to flip the coin for the forth round game between Victoria Azarenka and Lin Zhu in the Australian Open. Nia is also one of our hardest working Youth athletes at ACE. She is a regular most mornings of the week, and the results are showing lwith her testing times dropping every monitoring week, and her movement competency increasing with each session she does. 😁 She won’t tell you, but she had been practicing coin flipping skills and increasing her thumb strength all week to prepare for the coin flip!👏🙏 . #athlete #youthathlete #tennis #wedidit💪 #proudofyou #sports #melbourne #athletes #inspiration
The Role of Strength Training #1 of 3 – Injury Resilience What is the role of Strength Training? Why do we do it? Or why should we do it? Reason #1 , and arguably the most important reason, is Injury Resilience. It’s a simple one but having athletes available to play week in week out, is the best ability you can give an athlete you’re working with. The best Ability is Availability! By hitting the weights in the gym and targeting identified ‘risk’ areas, we can help mitigate injuries throughout a long and (sometimes) arduous season. The goal should be to build the foundations early in the pre-season, then depending on playing time and level of competition, attenuate decline throughout the in-season period, with the hope to build on the original base the following season. Strength builds resilience. So, get lifting in a planned and periodised way to help bulletproof you for next season. #athlete #youthathlete #athletes #youthathletes #sports #fitness #gym #training #strengthtraining #InjuryResilience #athleteinjury #strength #melbourne #coffsharbour #fyp
Using bands for power movements in the gym We all know that the top of the squat is where we are strongest, or the finishing lockout of an upper body pushing exercise. So, if we wanted to drop the weight, and push the speed on these drills, chances are we are either going to go flying into a jump from the squat or throw our shoulder out trying to push the bar through the wall! Enter resistance bands! If set up correctly, bands will offer resistance at the point of the lift where we are strongest. This allows athletes to accelerate through the entire range of motion of an exercise without fear of the weight going flying off their backs or out of their hands. 2 examples of banded power movements we use at ACE are the Banded Box Squat, and the Single-Arm Landmine Split Jerk. Joyce and Shags are lifting with speed and intent throughout the entire range of motion, thanks to the added resistance of the bands! ✨ #athlete #youthathlete #athletes #sports #exercise #exercises #bands #bandedexercises #fitness #strengthtraining #training #gym #melbourne #workout #coffsharbour #fyp #foryoupage

3 tips to stand out from the crowd of other interns during your placement You’ve gained a great placement. Now what? How do you stand out from the crowd? How do you empress so much that the organisation can’t not hire you!? See below 3 tips that have absolutely nothing to do with how much knowledge you know in the field: Tip 1: Show up early There is no worse sight than an intern walking through the door rubbing sleep out of their eyes, whilst athletes are just starting their warmup. Arrive before the first athlete, leave after the last on your chosen shift. Simple! Tip 2: Don’t be scared to get involved! I know first-hand it can be intimidating walking into a new organisation. The first couple of weeks, just feel it out. Get used to the facility, the athletes, the program, the flow of sessions. But after that, GET INVOLVED. Chat to athletes, get to know them, build those relationships. Positive rapport with athletes will only help you coach them down the line. We love when our interns are proactive in engaging with athletes and getting involved in sessions. Tip 3: Body language Now you’ll probably think I’m crazy. But I’m a big believer in positive body language, no matter what role you have at an organisation. 3 simple rules our interns follow include: No hands in pockets: You look like you don’t want to be here and uninterested. No phones out: It’s not a good looking when you’ve got a gym full of athletes and the intern is texting their mate. No crossed arms: Some kids can find this intimidating. If you’re standing over someone in the power stance with arms crossed, I can tell you right now you don’t give off friendly vibes. #athlete #youthathlete #athletes #youthathletes #sports #fitness #athletetips #tips #gym #strengthtraining #melbourne #training #fyp
Aqua Bag Running Series The aqua bag challenges an athlete’s stability, forcing athletes to become more aware of controlling stability through their entire body to counteract the chaos. There are three main loading options for running drills with the aqua bag. Shoulders Front rack Overhead Each position provides a different challenge as it forces the body stabilise in different ways depending on where the bag is positioned. Jordan and Trent are showing the High knee march with each loading option however any running drill variation could be used. Have a go, it is way harder than it looks and provides a very new challenge to athletes. #athlete #youthathlete #aspiringathletes #athletes #aquabag #running #run #speedtraining #strengthtraining #stability #exercise #exercises #workout #melbourne #gym #coffsharbour
What is shin splints? By definition it is the inflammation of the muscles, tendons and bone tissue around your shin. How does this happen? Shin splints are most often cause by a rapid increase in training load, specifically running load, that the muscles are not yet ready for. You will tend to feel pain along the line of your shin and if not treated promptly can lead to other issues such as stress fractures. How do we fix it? Number 1 is obviously rest, but we do not necessarily have to completely stop. Here are a few exercises that we can do that are low load that can help strengthen the effected muscles Heel Walks Diagonal Toe Raises Walking Calf raises Jump & Stick onto a pad Give them a go if you are having trouble with shin splints😁 #athlete #youthathlete #sports #shinsplints #jumps #exercises #workout #gym #walkingcalfraises #heelwalks #melbourne #coffsharbour #fyp #foryoupageofficiall
Member Success story – Ben Gray Basketballer Ben has not let a broken foot stop him! End of the year, at a time where many would just wait and restart in the new year, Ben was dedicated and continued to come into the gym in a moon boot. Now in the new year, he is back running and almost ready to return to basketball games. Some of the things we are doing with his return to running include Loaded movement pattern drills – low impact but can help build strength through the key running movements Low intensity running technique drills – reintroduction to drills Ben has done previously Change of direction – starting out with small amounts of change of direction to get him confident pushing off his injured foot again Assisted Plyometrics – as seen in the video, using a band can help take a bit of the weight out of the impact of landing for his ankle jumps Running – plain and simple straight line running, gradually building up his intensity before returning to training This shows that there is always something to do when you have an injury, and that doing that will help you be back at 100% even quicker once the injury has healed. #athlete #youthathlete #sports #successstory #success #plyometrics #running #basketball #successstory #athletesuccessstory #ACEPerformance #motivational #motivation #game #nopainnogain #melbourne #strengthtraining #fyp
Vertical Pulling options in the gym Vertical Pulling options? Pull ups, Pulldowns, …… You probably can’t think of many. Either can I. BUT, check out the videos of the ones I can think of and the different variables you can bring to them. Don’t just think of Pull Ups as your only Vertical Pulling option in the gym. What if you can’t do them??? Although a great exercise, these are hard and not everyone can jump straight to a bodyweight pull up. How do you regress the exercise and how can you build your strength to be able to complete one? See below for a variety of Vertical Pulling options to help you either add variation in the gym, or build that strength up to be able to get that illusive bodyweight Pull Up. Video 1: BW Pull Up Video 2: Banded Assisted Pull Up Video 3: Partner Assisted Pull Up Video 4: Pulldown variations #athlete #youthathletes #youthathlete #coachtips #coach #pullups #assistedpullups #pulldownvariation #exercise #gym #melbourne #workout #workoutchallenge

We do plenty of jumping in our youth program, but how do we progress past bodyweight? Obviously teaching kids to control their own body first is step one. Once they have done that, med balls are a great tool to add small amounts of load without putting kids into potential dangerous positions. Some examples include MB Vertical Throw MB Keg Toss MB Squat Jumps . #athlete #youthathlete #athletes #youthathletes #throw #jumps #exercise #gym #training #strength #strengthtraining #melbourne
