This is our real and beautiful Ellie B**r.

Well done to Ellie and the ABC News on very honest and vulnerable recount of Ellie’s journey to date.

For parents with athletic kids, here is great story of perseverance and the important role you and support team play.

❤️ you B**r

Viking Athletics Team

Ellie B**r is one of Australia's most accomplished young sprinters but being thrust into the spotlight at 16 took a huge psychological toll. Now she's coming back stronger than ever.

Mic’d up with Coach Linc Barnes | The Athlete Coach - S&C, Rehab & Running Coach⚡️

1-on-1 acceleration coaching using sled pulls, focused entirely on developing the positions and force we need in those first few steps.

Our focus here is simple:

→ Project the hips forward and create a powerful acceleration position
→ Apply force backwards into the ground to drive the sled forward
→ Build strength through the exact positions we want to see transfer into acceleration
→ Remove the resistance and transfer that feeling into faster, more powerful first steps

Sled work gives us a simple way to overload acceleration mechanics while teaching the athlete what effective horizontal force production feels like.

For field and court athletes, those first few metres matter.

Get stronger at pushing. Get better at projecting. Get faster off the mark. ⚡️

At Vikings, we use resisted running as one piece of a broader speed development system designed to create measurable improvements that transfer to sport.

5 weeks. That's all that stands between you and the program Harry Cloke credits for changing the way he moves and competes on the field. 🏉

Harry trained with the D1 AFL Performance Program as a U16 Suns Academy player and said it best himself: "I knew what to work on every week. The results were there in the way I moved and competed."

That kind of clarity and direction doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you're in the right program.

The early bird special won't last, and spots are already filling fast. If you've been thinking about it, now is the time to stop thinking and start doing. Sign up before the offer closes or the program books out completely.
