OUR MISSION

Footballers in Australia aren’t receiving the level of physical preparation they deserve or need at both youth and senior levels.

There’s a clear gap in how we prepare players to meet the physical demands of the modern game. We’ve seen it firsthand, from grassroots to elite athletes competing on the world stage.

Our mission is simple: to raise the standard of physical preparation for footballers across Australia. We’re here to develop faster, stronger, fitter and more resilient players, so they can perform at their best to meet the physical, technical and tactical demands of the modern game.

As the training loads, speeds and intensity of football continue to rise, so do injury rates and club spending on rehab. The game has evolved, but physical performance training hasn’t kept pace.

We are here to change that.

Using our combined 20 years of experience working with elite footballers from both the men’s and women’s game, we deliver our football-specific physical preparation model through multiple tailored pathways, giving every footballer access to a performance plan that meets their individual needs.

The modern game demands faster players.™

THE FPA WAY

  • Understand the importance of proper football-specific physical performance training in helping progress your overall game. Identify weaknesses, such as being too slow, not fit enough, experiencing constant niggles or lacking the ability to produce explosive power.

    Leave no stone unturned and build the physical attributes that will get you to the next level, whether that be a pro contract or reaching new heights in your career, in Australia or abroad.

  • If you are looking for an evidence-based program to do anywhere in the world from your device, head over to our ‘Online Performance Programs’ tab to read through our athlete-centred program options.

    If you are after a customised performance plan and coaching to your needs and situation, head over to the ‘Performance Coaching’ tab to learn more about our Face-to-Face and Online Coaching options.

    If you are seeking to secure your spot in our School Holiday Speed Academy, head over to the ‘Speed Academy’ page since spots are limited.

    If you are aiming to remove the guesswork and want us to assist and educate you, your academy or your club on how to deliver a high-performance training program, head over to the ‘Contact Us’ tab to enquire about how we can be of service.

  • Once onboard with FPA, you will be added to our exclusive FPA Community as well as have full access to our training app and coaches all year round.
