Mental programs
SPG believes that mental aspects of performance are skill based. They can be learnt and developed through appropriate specialist training and support. Research consistently demonstrates that juniors are more receptive to the development of mental skills and have the capacity to develop these from 9 years old. These skills enable juniors to maximize performance in the sporting arena.
This proactive approach enables juniors to be more self aware, confident, experience less performance anxiety, remain focused under pressure, develop strategies and routines for success, and have higher levels of motivation, confidence and self-esteem. It also enables them to develop lifelong habits based upon learning and enjoyment regardless of ability
Physical programs
SPG is dedicated to ensuring junior performers reach their performance potential and remain injury free. It is therefore critical that physical conditioning is specific to the demands of the sport, the age and the individual development stage of each performer. SPG’s approach ensures each performer develops a strong physical foundation, balancing muscular development, optimizing range of movement, and reducing sport specific injuries.
SPG also places emphasis on teaching juniors other key physical aspects of performance such as hydration, nutrition, performing in the heat, recovery techniques, warming up and cooling down, and recognizing early signs of injury. This facilitates the development of lifelong habits to ensure not only future performance but physical well being.
