The Forge
One coaching team the whole way.
When athletes start here, every landing is loud. Then one day, one lands without a sound. That's the moment we coach for.
A list, and a coach's tick.
Every level here has a list of what an athlete needs to be able to do. Not know. Do. When a coach sees it done properly, they tick it off, and it stays ticked.
The only number they're chasing is their own last one. Nobody gets compared to the athlete next to them.
Three levels. Each one has its own list.
Foundations
Ages 8–12
Athletes learn to run, stop, turn, jump and land, and build the strength to hold it all together. We get it right before we ask them to go fast.
Advanced
Ages 13–19
Once they've got the list, they step up to Advanced. That's where we start adding weight and speed. Every four weeks they get a new block, written off what we saw in the last one. Athletes starting at 13 or older come straight in here.
Individual
Ages 16 and up
A program built around one athlete: their sport, their position, their season, and where they want to take it. A school team, a state squad, a trial or a combine. We plan for what's in front of them. It's on their phone, they log every session, and we read every one.
Clubs can bring the same coaching to their squad on their own night. hello@thenthdegree.com.au
They step up.
When they step up, we notice. The group hears about it, and so does home.
Every athlete develops on their own clock. Some find their speed at twelve, some at fifteen. So nobody gets left behind for finding it later. And we keep working on our coaching, the same way we ask them to work on theirs.
For parents
When we ask you to sign, this is what you're agreeing to: a record of your athlete's own progress, kept by us, shown to them, and shared with nobody else unless you say so.
