why OUR ATHELETES SAY the RESOLUTE ACADEMY IS
"THE BEST FOR DEVELOPMENT"
Your development and success as an athlete is dependent on what you do off the field. Our training philosophy ensures that no stone is left unturned, making every minute of your journey count.

What is the main thing you have noticed has changed over the years when sitting down on the weekend and watching professional sport?
That athlete's body shapes are changing? That they're bigger? Stronger? Faster? Well, you may be right!
Over the last 20 years, NRL players in today's game are on average 6 - 8kg's heavier. Despite the lack of historical data, I am a strong believer that significant enhancements in sports science and associated technology has heavily influenced the development of faster athletes, particularly over the last decade or so. Much is the desire for speed in modern sport that the once revered tall, lanky wingers are being replaced by faster, and often shorter, athletes. The prime example of this is Corey Oates, an Origin representative, dropped at the beginning of the 2024 NRL season for simply not being "fast enough".
WHY DO ATHLETES FAIL?
Growing up, I was just like thousands of other kids, watching my heroes running around on the weekend dreaming about one thing, becoming a professional athlete.
And just like what seems to be the story of every strength and conditioning coach out there, I just simply did not cut it. Was it genetics? Was it my training? Was it my nutrition? Was I mentally not strong enough?
Hindsight can be a wonderful thing. Looking back, it there could be arguments for all four of these points.
However, what it all boiled down to was I simply just not big enough, fast enough, strong enough or confident enough.
It took me until I started coaching in junior representative programs to fully appreciate the magnitude of the role the aforementioned factors play in the development and overall success of both up and coming, and elite athletes.
This knowledge was ultimately the deciding factor for the name Resolute. Through all the bells and whistles of your training, through the multitude of theories regarding training and recovery methods, making it as an elite athlete boils down to what being Resolute means: having an unwavering determination for success.
If every action you take, or decision you make is not in service of your dream, then failure is inevitable.
If you don't wake up everyday and think "What am I going to do today to get me one step closer to achieving my dream?", then failure is inevitable.
If you're training is not adequate enough to make yourself indestructible on the field/court, or you easily fall prey to the bullsh*t gimmicks thrown around by so called "fitness influencers", then failure is inevitable.
If you lack the knowledge, the self - confidence, or don't fully appreciate what it takes to reach the highest level, then failure is inevitable.
Unlike conventional strength training, which primarily focuses on building muscle mass and power, strength and conditioning takes a more holistic approach. It targets various facets of the human body's physical capabilities, including power, agility, speed, endurance, and flexibility.
Gone are the days where elite strength and conditioning programs are solely reserved for elite athletic environments. Here at Resolute Strength and Conditioning, you have the access and support to what you need to succeed.
So, if you have an unwavering desire to become the strongest, most powerful, fastest, most agile and most mobile athlete you can possibly be, then you have come to the right place.
Don't delay your journey to success any longer.
Creating an effective strength and conditioning program is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each athlete has unique needs, goals and physical attributes that must be carefully considered. Factors such as age, training history, sport-specific demands, injury history, and even psychological readiness all play a critical role in program design.
A well-crafted program takes into account the athlete's current fitness level and progressively challenges them to enhance performance while minimising the risk of injury. It balances various elements such as strength, endurance, flexibility and recovery. The goal is to create a holistic approach that addresses the athlete's weaknesses, builds on their strengths and aligns with their specific goals.
By prioritising individualisation, we ensure that every athlete receives the attention and tailored guidance they need to reach their full potential. This meticulous approach is what separates successful training programs from generic routines that fail to deliver lasting results.
FEEL LIKE YOUR DEVELOPMENT HAS STALLED?
THEN HERE IS WHY
1. YOUR TRAINING ISN'T MEETING YOUR NEEDS
2. YOUR TRAINING DOESN'T MEET THE DEMANDS OF GAMEDAY
Failing to train in a way that meets the physiological demands of gameplay can have significant repercussions on an athlete's performance and development.
When training is not aligned with the specific requirements of the sport, athletes may experience decreased endurance, strength, and agility—key components that are critical during competition. This mismatch can lead to a higher risk of injuries, as the body is not adequately prepared to handle the intensity and complexity of actual gameplay.
Furthermore, without targeted training, athletes may miss out on opportunities to develop sport-specific skills, hindering their growth and potential. In the long term, this can result in stagnation, frustration, and a lack of progress.
To truly excel and reach peak performance, it is essential to engage in a training program that is thoughtfully designed to mimic the physical and technical demands of the sport. By doing so, athletes can build resilience, enhance their skills, and consistently perform at their best when it matters most.
3. your training focuses too much on strength
A common mistake that athletes often make is focusing too much on what they do in the weight room. Whilst what you do in the gym is an important aspect of your physical and athletic development, it isn't the be all and end all.
One of the more important training principles is that of training specificity. At the end of the day, if your training isn't designed to make you a better athlete in your particular sport, then you're wasting your time.
Which is why emphasis must be placed on the development of power and coordination in the context of the specific motor patterns often utilised in your sport. For example: increasing load of barbell front squats over time does correlate to sprint performance.
However, if you're not actually sprinting in your training, then you're not going to get faster. No matter how much you squat...
Therefore, an all encompassing training program that is able to transfer what you do in the gym to your performance on the field will be far more advantageous than a program that is isolated to strength - specific exercises.

Being parents to young aspiring athletes can be quite challenging at times. Initially, letting your young athlete try out a variety of sports is the best way to start. This not only gives them the opportunity to discover sports and activities they enjoy the most, but it is also instrumental for the development of the necessary motor skills required for athletic development.
Participation in multiple sports helps young athletes develop a wide range of motor skills, such as coordination, balance, agility, and strength. These foundational skills are crucial as they form the basis for more complex movements and techniques required in various sports. Furthermore, engaging in diverse activities can enhance overall athleticism, making them more versatile and adaptable athletes in the long run.
However, the challenges begin once your young aspiring athlete reaches high school. School commitments, extracurricular activities, and an increase in social life flood their weekly schedule, placing extra pressure on them to find time to train and continue their development. These added pressures place a greater demand on your young aspiring athlete. Pressures from within to succeed, especially during times of accelerated growth, make their growing bodies more susceptible to injuries.
This is where we come into the picture. Teaching young, aspiring athletes how to train efficiently and effectively whilst managing external factors can be the difference between giving them a shot at success or losing hope and interest in their dreams.
Using Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) models, we ensure that your young athlete can become the best athlete they can be. LTAD models emphasise age-appropriate training and development, focusing on building a solid foundation before progressing to more specialised skills. This approach not only enhances performance but also helps in preventing injuries by promoting proper technique and movement patterns.
We guide your athlete to run efficiently and employ proper landing and jumping mechanics. Proper biomechanics reduce the risk of overuse injuries and ensure that their bodies can handle the demands of their chosen sports. This way, we help your young aspiring athlete reach their peak performance whilst staying resilient to injury.
So, if you want to provide your young aspiring athlete with every opportunity to succeed (why else would you be here?), then the Junior Academy of Excellence is for you!
