Building Elite Performance

15/05/2022

CLOSED INDEFINITELY ||

We are ceasing to operate as of this week.

Our last day as Building Elite, a strength and performance platform for women's sport, will be this Thursday 19th of May, 2022.

Though I announced this privately last week, and to our community prior to that, I thought it was best to leave an imprint here in case someone comes looking for us..

The reality is, the fitness industry is an incredibly hard place to have been over the past 2 years. The Feb floods were the straw that really broke the camel's back.

I've spent 10 years in the industry this year and over that time hundreds of beautiful humans have crossed our path. If thats you - thank you. It's been the biggest honour to have coached and supported your journey, and such a privilege to have heard your story and earnt your trust.

I'm off for a huge break for my mental health, to see some more sunsets from outside and to finish my masters of Exercise Physiology.

Love to you all and thank you for your love, support and trust.

Its the little things, beyond just a personalised program that counts when we look at performance..

It's feeling comfortable to come as you are.

It's being welcomed by your name.

It's in the language both you AND I use from the minute you walk in the gym door..

Its feeling like a person, not just a number.

It's knowing someone has your back.

And it's in *knowing* you are capable of whatever comes your way.

We pride ourselves on offering not just a great program and movement correction, but a space where you are seen as more than just a number and are capable of more than what you think.

We're now onto week 2 of preseason for football and netball 🤾‍♀️

A 10 week program working on fundamentals of strength, conditioning and change of direction to ensure a strong, speedy return for our field and court athletes.

We've also teed up weekly challenges on recovery for our women, because if they don't know how important recovering is to adaptation, they will very soon!

There is still time to jump into this program - if you're keen, message us for a call or sign up online

HI 🙋‍♀️

My mission through Building Elite Performance is to make high performance coaching accessible, so we can break the cycle of athletes, particularly women, with limited movement and high rates of injury, who are overworked and don't feel heard.

Building Elite will continue to promote a holistic approach to coaching, where we encouraging a balance in lifestyle, stress and training to keep you performing to your version of ELITE.

Do you have or coach young girls?

Do you understand the physiology of what happens when puberty strikes?

It's not all peak height velocity and mood swings - there are significant considerations for our young women and with the massive drop out rates of girls from sport, we all need an education on what's happening and why!

I tried to cut this off before I jumped on my soapbox...

Please read - I would LOVE to hear your thoughts and experiences, particularly if you're in the parenting or coaching girls area.

You know that preseason where the girls come back from a few months off and suddenly they seem uncoordinated or ungainly? Maybe even less confident and more self conscious? If you’re a female or have coached or parented adolescent girls, you will know what I’m talking about.. This is a pivot poi...

In my near-decade of coaching, I have heard women talk about their cycle and periods in all forms of ways - calling it disgusting and gross and wishing it away. But as we begin to fill the female-shaped gap in sports science, we begin to understand the cyclic nature of how to achieve our peak performance USING our cycle.

I hope this will be an informative read and open a new realm of discussions.

More to come 😁
