Long-term athlete development isn’t built on shortcuts.
It’s built on consistency, patience, trust, and doing the little things right for years.”

August 2023 → February 2026.

When Raf first came to USP at 13 years old, the goal was never to create a kid who peaked early-the goal was to build a resilient athlete for the long term.

Over the past 2.5 years, Raf and his dad Dean have done absolutely everything we’ve asked of them. They trusted the process, stayed patient through major growth spurts, prioritised recovery, movement quality, gradual progression, and never chased shortcuts.

The results speak for themselves:

🔥 Chin-up hold: 6 sec → 13 reps
🔥 Push-ups: 3 → 17 reps
🔥 Vertical Jump: 42cm → 61cm
🔥 Static Jump: 38cm → 65cm
🔥 Long Jump: 133cm → 253cm
🔥 Bodyweight: 51.7kg → 68.2kg
🔥 Body Fat: 18% → 13.7%
🔥 Height: 159cm → 177cm

And most importantly…

✅ Zero major injuries.

During one of the biggest growth phases of his life, we were able to carefully manage and minimise common adolescent overuse issues like Sever’s and Osgood-Schlatter through structured programming, intelligent load management, mobility, recovery, and age-appropriate progressions.

This is why we believe so strongly in long-term athlete development.

Not smashing kids into the ground.
Not specialising too early.
Not chasing short-term success.

Just consistent work, smart coaching, and patience over time.

Super proud of Raf and massive credit to Dean for trusting the process the entire way.

The scary part?

We’re only getting started.

🔥 Athletes Stuck in a Slump? Here’s How to Flip the Script on Your Season! 📈
🚨 Coaches, Parents & Athletes: STOP Making These In-Season Strength Training 🚨 Coaches, Parents & Athletes: STOP Making These In-Season Strength Training Mistakes! 🚨

⚠️ If your training is leaving you tired, sore, and slower on Game Day… You’re doing it WRONG.

❌ The #1 mistake? Losing all the strength, speed & power you built in the off-season.
❌ By Week 5, you’re weaker, slower, and more prone to injury when it matters most—Finals time!

☠️ The worst possible combination.

💡 Science calls it “Reversibility”—we call it “Use it or lose it.”

🏋️‍♂️ Here’s what proper in-season strength training does for you:

✅ Keeps your strength & power so you don’t become a shadow of your off-season self.
✅ Maintains muscle mass (not shrink like a raisin by Finals time).
✅ Reduces injury risk by keeping your muscles firing faster & stronger when it counts.

👏 And because you made it this far, here are 3 tips to FIX your in-season strength training right now:

🔥 1️⃣ Reduce Range of Motion: Example—Swap Clean Grip Deadlifts for Romanian Deadlifts from the rack.
🔥 2️⃣ Lower Volume, Not Intensity: Fewer reps & sets, but keep lifting HEAVY.
🔥 3️⃣ Train Smarter, Not More: 1-2 strength sessions per week instead of 3-4.

12 months ago… Marco walked into USP in a moon boot.

14 years old.
Fibula fracture.
Hamstring avulsion.
Serious lumbar spine injury.
Confidence shattered.
Wondering if his body would ever let him play AFL the way he knew he could.

But where there’s a will… there’s always a way.

This young man backed himself.

Saved every cent… flew from Melbourne to the Gold Coast… and said:

"This is my last shot."

No shortcuts.
No excuses.
No stones left unturned.

Speed.
Strength.
Power.
Rehab.
Correctives.
Nutrition.
Recovery.
Traffic light progressions.
An elite team around him.

12 months later…

✅ Pain free
✅ Injury free
✅ 58kg → 66kg of lean muscle
✅ Faster
✅ Stronger
✅ More explosive
✅ More confident than ever

And now…

He's dominating for the Gold Coast Suns Academy!

Marco… I’m proud of the man and athlete you have become, mate.

I'm stoked to present you a USP 2XU Singlet for smashing your goals!

You don’t rise to your goals…

You rise to your standards.

The scary part?

He’s only just getting started.

If you’re an athlete battling injury, self-doubt, or wondering if your best footy is behind you…

It’s not.

Your comeback starts the moment you decide it does.

This is what happens when talent meets the right system.

Proud to share the progress of one of our young USP athletes, Leo (15 years old).

Since starting in December…
2 weeks overseas in Japan (Yet still performed his hotel gym program)

Most athletes lose momentum.
Leo did the opposite.

The Results (in just 12 weeks)
Chin-ups: 9 → 15
Dips: 11 → 17
Row strength: 40kg → 60kg
Countermovement jump: 55cm → 68cm
Static vertical jump: 59cm → 67cm
Peak power: 3517W → 4433W
Trap Bar Deadlift: 125kg x 3 reps (over 2.5x bodyweight)

But here’s what most people don’t see…
This didn’t just come from training.

It came from:
✔️ Executing his nutrition plan
✔️ Prioritising recovery (sleep, soft tissue, managing load)
✔️ Following the program to perfection
✔️ Turning up consistently-no excuses

Success leaves clues. Commitment reaps rewards.

At 15, Leo isn’t just “training”…

He’s building a physical and mental foundation that will separate him over the next 2–3 years.
Strength.
Power.
Robustness.
Discipline.

To parents and young athletes, this is the window.

The ones who commit early…
are the ones who dominate later.

Proud of you Leo.

You've earned your 2XU USP Singlet!

Now it’s time to see this hard work transfer where it matters most…

It’s go time.

Talent is overrated. Commitment isn’t.

Let me tell you about Harry Bull.

18 years old.
AFL + Cricket athlete.
Drives 1.5 hours each way from Ballina… multiple times a week… to train at THE PIT.

No complaints.
No excuses.
No noise.

Just work.

I’ve seen it all over the years…

Athletes with unbelievable talent.
Parents making promises.
Athletes saying all the right things…

And then?

No follow through.
No communication.
No commitment.

Wasted talent.

Then you get someone like Harry.

Quiet. Unassuming.
But underneath… a steely resolve.

Since October:

Bodyweight: 73.7 kg → 81.4 kg (+7.7 kg)
Body Fat: 16.5% → 14.8% (leaner while gaining size)
Countermovement Jump: 52 cm → 57 cm (+5 cm)
Static Vertical Jump: 48 cm → 59 cm (+11 cm)
Peak Power (Sayers): ~4437 W → ~5092 W (+655 W, ~15% increase)
Rehabilitated Scheuermann’s
Overcame stress fractures in both ankles
Hasn’t missed a session
Completed every program-strength, speed, mobility, recovery, nutrition

No reminders needed.
No chasing him up.

Ask → Done.

And what happens when you stack that level of commitment?

Starts midfield in seniors as an 18 year old
In the votes last week!
Dominates fitness, speed, and strength testing
Wins his own ball
Brings physicality
Impacts games

No longer an outside player.

Now he’s in the contest… and hurting blokes.

And the best part?

He doesn’t say a word.

No hype.
No ego.
Just walks in… goes to work… and leaves.

This is the athlete we back.

Not the most talented.
Not the most gifted.

The one who:
✔️ Shows up
✔️ Follows through
✔️ Does the work
✔️ Earns it

Success leaves clues. Commitment reaps rewards.

Harry -I’m proud of you mate.

Your reward at coveted 2XU USP Singlet!

Leader. Role model. Absolute weapon.

This is just the beginning.

To parents and athletes reading this…

If you’re serious about your development..
and want to see what’s actually possible with the right system…

Reach out.

Because what Harry has built…
is available to those willing to commit.

Brad O’Reilly

Proud is an understatement.

I met Brad at 11 years old (that was 17 years ago)...
and this weekend I watched him get married to Shae.

That’s what this journey is about.

From a young kid in the gym…
to a leader…
to a USP Certified Coach…
to now a husband building a life with purpose.

I honestly can’t fault him.
Tremendous leader.
Elite communicator.
Even better human.

And behind it all-Kelvin & Barb.
Incredible people who’ve supported not just Brad, but USP from day one.

There’s a saying I’ve always believed in
Athletes start as kids…
then become mates…
and if you’re lucky… they become like brothers.

Brad is that.

Grateful to share this moment.
Proud beyond words.

Congratulations Brad & Shae

Most athletes wait…
Until something goes wrong.

Injury.
Confidence drops.
Missed selections.

Then they react.

The best athletes don’t wait. They take massive ACTION!
diaries .hayne_22 is 14.

No excuses.
No missed sessions.
No shortcuts.

✔️ Shows up
✔️ Does the work
✔️ Nails recovery + nutrition
✔️ Trains like a pro

And the results?

🏆 State Champs – Gold + MVP
🏆 Vicki Wilson – Gold
🏆 M League – Gold
👏 Elite Premier League

That’s not luck.
That’s standards.

Talent might get you noticed…
But habits are what separate you.

If you’re serious about your sport:

* Stop waiting
* Stop hoping
* Start building

Because confidence doesn’t come from talk…
It comes from knowing you’ve done the work.

Be the athlete others are chasing.

Massive respect to USP athlete & coach Trent Vincent, who just dominated HYROX last week.

Proud moment watching this unfold.

Trent USP athlete & coach-just took 15 minutes off his HYROX PB in 12 weeks.

That kind of improvement doesn’t come from luck. It comes from structure, consistency, and doing the hard things when no one’s watching.

What makes it even more impressive…
He’s only 18 years old
Competed in the U25 division
Finished top 30

That’s a level of performance well beyond his years and training age.

This is exactly what we talk about at USP build the engine, build the mindset, and results take care of themselves.

Proud of you mate.

This is just the start of things to come.

Been overlooked for an Academy?
Good.
You’ve got two options:
1. Blame selectors. Make excuses. Wait your turn.
2. Get to work and play so well that you cant be ignored.

Because being overlooked can be the BEST thing to happen to an athlete.
A test to see if you really want it.
Sound familiar?

Sienna Clinch knows this test well.
A powerhouse young ruck.
Can go forward and kick goals.
Physically dominates her opposition.
Relentless in the contest.
Overlooked for the Academy
She could’ve quit.
She could’ve complained.
She could’ve done what most do.

But instead… she chose option #2.
She doubled down on the extras:
• Dialled in nutrition to optimise body composition, energy & recovery
• Individualised strength & conditioning
• Speed. Power. Agility. Endurance.
• Mobility. Flexibility. Injury prevention.
• Work done away from the spotlight

No guesswork.
No “what ifs”.
No luck.
Just relentless, focused work and professionalism
And when the moment came she was ready.Selected in the U18 Gold Coast Suns Academy.Signed with the Southport Sharks Senior QAFLW
program.

In the 2025 season alone at barely 16 years old Sienna:
• Selected for QLD at State Level
• Made her Senior Debut
• Won the Div 1 Best & Fairest
• Recorded Vertical and Running Vertical Jump PBs of 58cm and 70cm

This wasn’t luck.
This was work.
Extra sessions.
Extra standards.
Extra accountability.
I tell every athlete we work with:
Play so well they can’t ignore you.
When your standards are high enough:
The results take care of themselves.
Performance does.

Proud of you, Sienna.
You stayed committed.
You backed yourself.
You earned your opportunity

The best is yet to come.

What Smart Parents Do Before Injury or Burnout.
Parents of Serious Young Athletes - Read This!
Most parents reach out when something goes wrong.
Injury. Burnout. Missed selections. Confidence drops.

That’s when they look for help.

But every now and then, a different kind of family walks through our doors.

Families like Jaz’s.

Jaz was already winning. Already dominating on the netball court.

She didn’t need to change anything.

But her parents understood something critical:
Waiting for a problem gives everyone else time to catch up.

At just 14 years old, Jaz trains like a professional:
✔️ Never missed a session
✔️ Zero injuries
✔️ Zero missed games
✔️ Nutrition and recovery taken seriously
✔️ No complaining. No excuses.

The results speak for themselves:
🏆 State Age Championships - Gold + MVP
🏆 Vicki Wilson Championships - Gold
🏆 M League Champions - Gold

Talent gets attention.
Habits, structure, and environment build champions.

At USP, we develop resilient bodies, confident minds, and athletes who stay one step ahead-not scrambling to recover.

If your child is committed, coachable, and wants more from their potential, this is where growth-minded athletes train.
