The Sharks Academy

Providing the best strength and conditioning programme

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Any professional athlete knows that they need to include regular strength and conditioning training in their schedule to perform at their best. This vital training tactic improves overall performance and reduce the risk of injury on the field. This is why we include a strength and conditioning programme in both our rugby and soccer training programmes. This is run by our highly qualified and experienced Sharks Academy conditioning team.

EXAMPLE OF A WEEKLY SCHEDULE

After an intense and exhilarating day on the field and in our classrooms you can expect to be put to the test in our strength and conditioning programme groups. These are run from 14:00 – 14:45PM and are usually followed by a rest day for your body to recover. 

OUR UNIQUE OFFERING

We have created a fun working environment at the Sharks Academy, using an athlete centred coaching approach to develop the player as a whole person to cater for his entire working career.

We focus on raising our students awareness, building their character and empowering individuals to take responsibility for their decisions. This is done to encourage the individuals within a team context to express themselves, utilising different simulated games to assist in intuitive decision making under pressure in a match situation. We aim to get the best out of each individual to fulfill their their potential in a safe environment.
