Snow Performance offers a tailored strength and conditioning program for athletes from the ages of 10 years old that follows the long-term athlete development model (L.T.A.D). This model describes how we alter training methods from early physical literacy through puberty and to elite performance in early adulthood.
“Since beginning training with Snow Performance around 3 years ago, Rhys has great commitment to developing programs and training specific to me as an athlete which has made serious improvement to my strength. Further, his knowledge of on snow development has had a considerable effect on my riding and race results.”
“I began working with Rhys (Snow Performance) after my first year of international racing with close to no knowledge in strength and conditioning training. I was able to start a full time training schedule and quickly saw huge improvements in all aspects of my overall strength and power. His level of commitment and dedication to ensuring I complete the workouts properly and to the best of my abilities is like non other I have ever seen. I have gained a wealth of knowledge through working with Snow Performance as all my questions are answered with precise exercise science research. Much of my success over the past season can definitely be correlated to the work put in with Snow Performance and I want to thank him for continuing his support in my journey and help even whilst not in Australia.”
” I started working with Rhys back in 2012 when my previous physical program director took up a new position at Cricket Victoria. I wanted to make the transition from one coach to another as smooth as possible, and asked that Rhys shadow my previous coach for a while to help that transition. He was more than accomodating, sacrificing some of his other work to help ensure he could be fully prepared to take over the program. It was this level of professional dedication that made the decision to choose Rhys very easy. He has always wanted to work with athletes, as his main focus is based around athlete development and progression. This is something we need more of in Alpine Skiing in Australia”
“Through working with Rhys at Snow Performance for over 3 years I have developed as an athlete both physically and mentally and I most defiantly would not be where I am today without Rhys and the program he has created. The strength and conditioning Rhys has put me through has pushed my body to be stronger than ever, allowing my on snow performance to reach new levels, enabling me to keep achieving my short and long term goals.
Before I started training with Rhys, I was unaware of the benefits strength and conditioning would have to my competitive season. The facilities at snow performance are fantastic and the environment is really motivating. I would recommend any athletes to work with Rhys, as his expert knowledge and advice is like nothing I’ve come across in the industry and I look forward to continuing to work with Rhys as he helps me throughout my career in the years to come.”
Training will commence with a movement screen to assess fundamental movements. Initial program will involve an individual focus on any weaknesses or structural abnormalities that may be impacting performance.
