Young athletes aren’t small adults.
Playing more sport isn’t always the same as developing the athlete.
Young athletes need different physical qualities at different stages of their development.
The question isn’t “What exercises should they do?” It’s “What does this athlete need right now?”
Develop what matters
We identify what matters for this athlete, right now.
Depending on the individual athlete, their sport and current priorities. We don’t try to develop everything at once.

The athlete behind the sport
Sport develops sporting skill. FitBar develops the athlete behind it.
FitBar considers the athlete’s age and stage of development, training experience, movement competency, current capabilities, sport demands and overall training load.

Every athlete is different
You don’t need to choose the pathway before we meet.
The right starting point depends on the athlete’s age and development, training experience, current capabilities, sport, competition schedule and individual priorities.
Tell me about your athlete first. If FitBar looks appropriate, we’ll discuss their situation and I’ll recommend the next step.
