AFL women's players are 9x more likely to rupture an ACL than males.
The saying goes the best ability is availability, and currently; their is an availability crisis gripping women’s AFL, at all levels.
If you currently play, then you know what I’m talking about.
Has there been a match this season where a teammate hasn’t gone down with a serious injury?
Whether it be a season ending ACL, or a soft tissue injury that requires months on the sidelines; I’m betting that you’ve seen them all (or worse - have been a casualty yourself)
There is a reason why the AFLW have introduced a national injury prevention program, aimed at providing clubs with the resources to help female players reduce their injury risk, and improve their performance.
They have recognised that it is a serious problem, and one that needs addressing - fast.
But there’s a problem…
Unless you are fortunate enough to play for an AFLW club, those resources don’t filter through to you.
You’re left to navigate the maze that is strength and conditioning, and injury prevention…on your own.
Maybe your club has an S&C coach that takes a session or two per week on the field… but it’s a generic program completely non-specific to you.
Or perhaps you have access to a physio your club has a relationship with, but all you get is a couple of visits and a few ‘rehab’ exercises written on a piece of paper…after you’ve already been injured.
Granted, having some level of support is certainly better than doing it all by yourself - but there is a reason why clubs at the highest level place a huge emphasis on properly prescribed and integrated S&C and injury prevention work…especially in the off- and pre-season.
Because it has been proven to decrease risk of sustaining a serious injury.
That’s where we come in.
We have developed a completely integrated high-performance pre season program aimed specifically at bulletproofing the female AFL athlete against the typical injuries sustained whilst playing, and taking their performance to a new level.
We will uncover your strengths, weaknesses and blindspots with our Performance Plan™, so you’ll be confident your problem areas are going to be improved.
You’ll get a completely individualized training program, not a generic ‘cookie cutter’ to complete on your own at your local big box gym.
You’ll get full access to our coaching timetable, so you never have to second guess if you’re training correctly.
And, you’ll have our sports physio here available to you, so any niggles you may have don’t turn into time on the sidelines.
How the program works
Our Women's AFL Off-Season Program is the complete solution to bulletproofing your body from injury.
We help any athlete currently playing women's AFL that wants to decrease their injury risk, improve their athleticism and play with confidence.
The program runs for 8 weeks.
PERFORMANCE TESTING
You'll begin your off-season program by completeting our in depth performance testing protocol. During the 90 minutes, we will:
1. Pinpoint the weaknesses that are holding you back and bulletproof them once and for all.
2. Identify the blind spots in your performance and discover how to turn them into opportunities that will enhance your sports performance.
3. Reveal the strengths that make you a talented athlete
PERFORMANCE PLAN CREATION
Every athlete that joins our off season program receives their own unique Performance Plan™ - a detailed strategy that clearly outlines how to develop your strength, power and speed to decrease your risk of injury, and improve your overall athleticism.
Your Performance Plan™ is based on the results of your testing, so it is completely unique to you and your body.
PROGRAM DESIGN
Using the data from your Performance Plan™, you will have a program written by our expert coaches that is 100% specific and tailored to you and your body.
All your strength and power training, fitness and conditioning, and sprint mechanics will be customised based on what you need to decrease your risk of injury and improve your athleticism.
ONBOARDING SESSION
Once your program is written, you will move into a 1:1 session with your performance coach - we call this our onboarding session.
This session will step you through your program so you are totally comfortable and confident in all the movements before joining the timetabled training sessions.
NUTRITION SEMINARS
It’s so important to fuel your body for optimal performance, which is why you will have the opportunity to join monthly online seminars with our Sports Dietitian, Alexandra.
If you’re like most athletes, you know ‘roughly’ that you should be eating ‘healthily’ - but you’re not that sure exactly what that looks like. During the seminars, you will learn exactly what you should be eating for your body, pre and post game, as well as optmising your diet for recovery.
TRAINING BEGINS
You’re now ready to begin training in our sessions, led by our experienced Performance Coaches.
Surrounded by a group of like-minded, motivated athletes and being coached by an expert coach in a session with no more than 6 others in it, is what you can expect once you start your training.
You will be re-tested at the completion of your off-season program (8 weeks) so you can see your improvements.
