Fundamentals Program

We always recommend starting with the fundamentals. This is the first level, the foundation on which your child’s future in athletics stands on. It’s where we iron out weaknesses and recognize strengths.

Everyone wants to be bigger, stronger and faster. Most want it all, but in life if you are going to be good at something, you need to work on your fundamentals first. A Ferrari is a beast of a performance machine because all its components work together to support the high performance speeds. What do you think will happen when you put a Ferrari engine into a Corsa bakkie? You guessed right, more than likely it will crash because it doesn’t have the chassis, breaks or supporting structure to handle the strength and power of a Ferrari engine. Your body is no different! You might want to be faster and want to be stronger but unless you have good movement mechanics and a solid core, becoming faster and stronger might just cause you to get injured.

At ASP, our fundamentals program focus on the identifying which components are weak through an assessment and then we focus of building better, stronger supporting components for your sport. We teach athletes the correct way to run, how to absorb shock when they land and help them understand how their body needs to move in order to be efficient and reduce the risks of injury. Most athletes suffering from ankle, knee and back injuries have not learned the fundamentals of how their bodies should move.

ASP has given my son more than just a increase in his performance. They have given him tools that are far more valuable… self belief and self confidence – Dawn Hartland (mom)

Our ASP Fundamentals program focuses on 2 keys areas

1. Core Weaknesses based on your Sports Science Assessment – Every athlete is unique, with their own set of weaknesses. This is where we start. We develop these weaknesses into strengths so that you can increase your speed safely.
2. ASP Curriculum – (This is where the magic lies in our program) We teach you how to become a better sportsman by educating you on proper technique. We use proven drills, methodologies and technique we have perfected over 10 years in the Sports Performance business. Through Science we get results!  Take a look at what a 50-minute to 1-hour session entails:

The ASP Fundamentals is a 3 month or 24 session program aimed at developing the underlying elements that make up any sporting performance by identifying and correcting inefficient movement patterns and most importantly, correcting bad technique.

The FD Program semi-private program will have no more than 6 athletes in the session. This is to ensure the highest quality control and that our athletes needs are adhered to.

With just over 9 years of training athletes, our fundamental program has proven to be a highly powerful and sought after program for young and aspiring athletes wanting to take their performance to a higher level.

The next step after our Fundamental program is the 12 month High Performance program.
