Performance Packages
Our performance packages are designed to support you in achieving your goals. By pulling together experts in their relevant fields and combining their knowledge we can offer you a multi-disciplinary team with world class expertise in all areas that will affect your performance.
​
We use a 3 step process, Profiling, Performance Plan, Performance.
We start by profiling your current level of performance, this allows us to identify the areas that you need to work on in order to improve your performance in your target event(s).
We then develop a performance plan. This looks at from all perspectives, from your threshold power to your nutrition, through to your mindset. Every aspect of performance is assessed, and then optimised to maximise performance.
​
Finally it is time for performance. We continue to support your performance even during your target event.
​
​
​
​
Profiling allows us to identify your strengths and weaknesses. It allows us to see where we can have the biggest impact in terms of improving your performance. Profiling also allows us to track your progress over time. This is important as the areas in which you can improve the most may change over time.
​
Profiling starts by looking at your Goals
We then consider all aspects that will influence performance:
​
Physiology: Critical Power, Power Duration Curve
Sports Psychology
Strength and Conditioning
Nutrition

This is where we take all the information we have collated during your profiling and develop and individualised performance plan integrating sport science and coaching to maximise your performance.

A performance plan consisted of 3 components:
​

This is the day to day sessions that you will undertake. Each session will be tailored to your individual physiology and will have a specific goal. Coaching includes:
Coach Contact

There often come times in your career when you need an outside eye on what you're doing. James has been that eye. His knowledge of power and performance analysis are huge. Having him as part of my coaching team has been really important and given me belief I needed, exactly when I needed it.
I have worked with James for several years; from working full time in London with very limited time to train to now being a full time athlete on the Irish track squad. James’ depth of knowledge and attention to detail has proved invaluable throughout, from winning my first Irish Road Championships in 2015 to my Silver Medal at the World Championships.
