The program is based on functional movement, technical development, personal development, strength conditioning development and sports medicine support.​ Our focus is to develop athletes capable of executing exercises and training routines of increased complexity as their training age/level increases. Further to this, athletes in the program receive priority access to specialist training facilities, equipment and mentoring from current and former elite athletes including high-profile College Alumni. ​
