• Unilateral & rotational patterns – for balance, agility and coordination required in running, pivoting and throwing sports.
• Eccentric control & deceleration skills – protecting hamstrings and knees during high-speed stops and directional changes.
• Endurance and core-stability challenges – supporting sustained performance for field, court and endurance athletes.

Participants leave with structured progressions, cueing strategies and take-home sequences adaptable to multiple sports.
