SPG provides world class physical training and support enabling athletes to reach their performance potential.

• Is your performance limited by physical imbalances and weaknesses?
• Do you struggle with re-occurring injuries?
• Do you struggle to optimize your physical performance despite training hard?
• Are you often over fatigued and burned out?
• Do you know how to use nutrition and hydration to optimize your performance?
   

SPG physical performance assessment and training is the answer to these performance limitations.

• Expertise – Claire Bowes, Director of Physical Training, has over 12 years experience consulting with some of the best athletes, coaches and programs in the world. As a former highly competitive athlete and certified strength and conditioning coach Claire understands the demands of high level sport and has a proven track record in helping athletes progress to the highest level in sport.
• Assessment – We complete sport specific sport and functional movement assessments prior to the design and development of an athlete’s individual training program.  This ensures that training is smart and tailored to specifically develop the physical parameters to both reduce the incidence of injury and optimize performance.
• Injury Prevention – We complete functional movement screens, to identify movement pattern issues, which increase the potential for injury.  These restrictions, imbalances and poor movement patterns distort motor learning, movement perception, body awareness and mechanics.  They rob the body of efficiency, and are often hidden by athletes who learn to compensate and substitute with other movement patterns.
• Training – Our training is based upon the leading practice and sports science research in the world. Our sport and individually specific periodized functional training programs bring maximum performance enhancement.
• Holistic Approach – We take a holistic approach to promoting optimal physical performance, and incorporate aspects such as effective recovery techniques, nutrition/hydration strategies and physical monitoring into our programs.
• Competitive edge – Our clients consistently report real differences in performance and gaining a competitive edge over their opponents. Our testimonials and client achievements highlight the advantages of our training.

SPG Physical Training Method:

SPG provide athletes with physical training designed to develop athleticism, optimize performance and reduce the incidence of injury.  Our training is based on the latest scientific evidence, and uses scientific knowledge to improve athleticism, power, speed, mobility etc.  We are committed to realizing the physical potential of our clients, by providing functional and individually specific training programs to optimize performance.

All our athletes first complete a sport specific and functional movement assessment prior to the design and development of their individual training program.  This ensures that training is smart and tailored to specifically develop the physical parameters to both reduce the incidence of injury and optimize performance.

All of SPG’s training is based on functional movement, in that it employs an integrated approach involving multiple body parts and multiple planes of movement, in movements that are relative to the movements in the sport.  The body does not move its muscles in isolation; rather it works as a unit, a kinetic chain, with each link being an interrelated and interdependent part of the whole movement.  Functional training emphasizes the training of the kinetic chain, and as such the physical gains achieved transfer well to performance and ensure maximum performance enhancement.
