Training Library
The one-stop video resource for coaches and their athletes, and physical education teachers and their students, looking for quick and clear demonstrations of how to perform a range of exercises and training activities.
Speed Training Activities
This channel features a menu of options for the development of sprinting abilities. Each instructional video includes simple 'holistic-type' cues helping athletes develop a 'feel' for the activity being undertaken. For a number of videos, these cues are combined with rhythmic notation based on drum beats to facilitate fluid and well coordinated movement.
The following channel categories are available:
-
DrillsRelatively low intensity activities typically cyclic in nature and in part resemblance of the sprinting action aimed at reinforcing favourable body position, rhythm and tissue tolerance.
-
JumpsDouble and single leg impact driven jumping, hopping and leaping activities aimed at maximising leg power related strength qualities.
-
ThrowsExplosive medicine ball throwing activities aimed at maximising whole and / or upper body power related strength qualities.
-
PrimersSprinting with constraints (e.g. resistance, obstacles, change of surface) aimed at reinforcing key technical features whilst “sprinting” with high intent, often at velocities similar to those during free sprinting.
-
SprintingPre-determined maximum (or close to) effort sprinting aimed at maximising sprinting specific speed adaptations.
Athletic Development for Young Athletes
This channel offers coaches and physical education teachers a one-stop resource of demonstration videos aimed at enhancing the athletic and overall movement capabilities of young athletes. From gymnastics to agility games, these activities will equip children with movement competencies to help facilitate a lifelong healthy involvement in physical activity and sport.

Agility Training
This channel focuses on two main areas - change of direction and contextual speed and agility. Accessing these videos will enable the coach to broaden their agility training coaching 'tool box' and the athlete to apply effective agility training immediately in their practice. This channel provides a battery of activities from which frameworks to develop general and sport specific agility-related qualities can be formed.

Strength Training
This channel provides coaches and their athletes with a comprehensive suite of strength-based exercises. We define 'strength' as 'the ability to produce the necessary amount of force within a time frame required by the task being undertaken'. As a result, any of the activities within our training library could be considered as developing strength qualities. However, the exercises within this category of the training library geared towards eliciting the physiological adaptations required to enhance one or more of the following strength based qualities: 1) enhance the ability to apply maximum levels of force; 2) enhance the ability to apply force within short time frames ('power'); 3) increase muscle size; 4) enhance the ability to apply force repeatedly ('muscular and power endurance')
