Applied High Performance Masterclass
A 1.5-day masterclass on elite athlete performance systems — planning, testing, monitoring and decision-making — for S&C coaches and sports scientists.
Learn how elite performance systems combine planning, testing, monitoring and decision-making to build better athletes.
Developing high-performing athletes requires more than effective training. It demands well-designed performance systems, objective assessment, informed decision-making and collaboration across the entire performance team.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience across the AFL, international Rugby and Olympic sport , this intensive 1.5-day Applied High Performance Masterclass provides an exclusive insight into the practical strategies, systems and decision-making frameworks used to optimise athlete development and performance in elite sport.
Combining current evidence with extensive real-world experience, this masterclass explores how planning, testing, monitoring and training can be integrated to enhance performance, reduce injury risk and support better coaching decisions. Through practical demonstrations, case studies and interactive discussions, participants will learn how objective information can be translated into meaningful actions that improve athlete outcomes.
Topics include long-term planning and periodisation, athlete profiling, strength and conditioning, performance testing, monitoring strategies, force plate technology, NordBord and ForceFrame assessment, data interpretation and practical approaches to integrating objective information into everyday coaching.
The masterclass will also include a brief applied session exploring considerations for late-stage rehabilitation, Return to Train and Return to Play within the broader performance system.
Designed for strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, sports scientists, performance managers, coaches and aspiring practitioners , this masterclass emphasises practical application rather than theory alone. Participants will leave with proven frameworks, practical tools and greater confidence to make informed decisions within their own high-performance environments.
Whether you work in professional sport, academies, schools, universities or private practice, this masterclass will provide practical strategies to help you build better athletes, stronger performance systems and more effective decision-making.
