Youth Athlete Programme
EMPOWERING YOUNG ATHLETES TO REALISE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL
Building a foundation of strength and confidence to foster health, well-being and athletic ability from an early age.
The Youth Athlete Programme (ages 11-16 years) focuses on helping young athletes increase strength, build confidence and become more resilient through dynamic, skill-based Strength and Conditioning training. Our programme emphasises long-term athletic development with a focus on foundational movement skills and age appropriate developmental progression, helping prepare young athletes for success in sports and in life, all while partnering with parents for ongoing support and guidance.

Long Term Athletic Development
Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) is a systematic approach to athletic progression, emphasising the gradual development of physical, mental, and technical skills from childhood through to adulthood. Strength and conditioning plays a key role in LTAD, and when conducted by a qualified and experienced practitioner, provides a foundation of movement quality, strength and physical literacy that has been shown to help mitigate injury risk in youth populations (READ THE PAPER HERE), allowing athletes to safely and effectively progress through sport-specific training as they mature.
​
Despite these benefits, at Momentum training we understand that navigating the landscape of youth training can be difficult for parents. With concerns regarding the safety of strength training and fears over whether it may harm growth or development, the specialised nature of athletic development training, and simply trying to consolidate the overwhelming volume of information that is available, it can be difficult to know where to go, and what to do. This combination makes finding a practitioner you trust with your child's training extremely daunting, especially if you have already had a negative experience in the past.
That is why we at Momentum Training aim to work with you, the parent, to provide ongoing support, guidance and resources, to help inform and educate on the benefits of strength and conditioning for young athletes, all within a high-level training system that has been developed across 10+ years of experience working with youth athlete populations.

MOMENTUM YOUTH ATHLETE PROGRAMME

YOUTH ATHLETE PROGRAMME
Our best training service for emerging young athletes...

We listen to the needs of each individual athlete (and their parents), and design a training programme specific to them and their lifestyle. Our programmes have been tested by recreational, elite, professional and Olympic and Paralympic level athletes...so you know you're in good hands.
2)
Momentum Performance Testing protocol.
If you aren’t assessing, you’re guessing. Our Performance Testing protocol lets us analyse every aspect of your child's athletic profile, so we can highlight strengths and identify performance limitations, to ensure each programme remains as specific to your child as possible.
3)
Programme design and prescription is driven my objective data and evidence-based practice and training principles.
Our Youth Performance Programme takes advantage of the latest research and technology available to offer elite-level of service, to continuously monitor performance, pinpoint areas of opportunity and optimise goal setting and programming.
4)
Build strength, increase resiliency and mitigate injury risk.
Stronger youth athletes can withstand higher forces than their weaker counterparts, which means weaker athletes are predisposed to a higher risk of injury in sport. Our programmes aim to develop your child's strength and capacity within an age appropriate developmental system that emphasises quality over quantity, and produces long-term, sustainable results.
5)
Develop confidence in and out of the gym.
Partner with a Strength and Conditioning expert with over 10 years of experience coaching youth athletes and creating athletic development programmes for sports clubs and schools, in both grassroots and high-performance settings.

"Momentum Training helped me physically and mentally and tailored the programme to my specific needs. No matter what you're looking to achieve, Chris and Momentum Training can help!"
Oli Kennedy
Whistler, BC
Recently I had a serious knee injury requiring surgery, coupled with not being able to go to the gym for rehab, I was at a bit of a loss in what to do with the limited equipment and space I had.
Fortunately, Momentum Training was able to provide me with at home workouts that were specific to my injury. I was provided with detailed and precise exercises that challenged me with excellent back and forth feedback when necessary. As I began to progress through my injury, so did my plan, this helped me remain focused and engaged as I saw my body grow stronger. I never once thought about quitting throughout my rehab and I don't intend to anytime in the future.”

"Initially I was very tentative of going to Chris as I have done many different gym programmes in the past with little or no result. After talking to him for the first time, these worries were eased. He set clear goals as well as outlining how we were going to achieve these goals within the programme..
It is crazy what I have achieved in over 12 weeks. The programme Chris created for me was incredibly challenging for me, both aerobically and anaerobically. As well as seeing a drastic loss in weight, my strength and overall conditioning have also seen mass improvements.
I do believe if you are looking for a coach that you want to tailor a programme to your personal needs and requirements then Chris and Momentum Training is the way forward!

“Momentum Training has given me the best results I’ve ever had. I love to be able to say yes to every outdoor adventure I can, and Chris has made it possible for me to do this. I now trust my body can keep up and will recover effectively.
Having access to Chris’s extensive knowledge of training and nutrition has completely transformed my winter and what I want to achieve!”
