Why PM Fitness is Different
I don't simply ask young athletes to run faster. First, I look at how they move.We assess areas such as running mechanics, mobility, stability, coordination and strength before deciding what needs improving.That helps us work on the areas that could make the biggest difference to their speed and athletic performance.✅ Acceleration
✅ Running technique
✅ Coordination
✅ Agility
✅ Strength & Power
✅ Change of direction
✅ Confidence

The Process
1. Understand
We start with the young athlete, their sport, position, goals and what they would like to improve2. Assess
We look at your movement, running mechanics, mobility, stability, coordination and basic strength and power3. Coach
We work on the areas identified in the assessment using age-appropriate drills and exercises4. Progress
We gradually develop acceleration, speed, agility, strength and movement

Meet Theo - Youth Speed Training
When Theo started speed training, the aim was to improve his acceleration, sprint technique and overall speed.We first looked at the foundations behind faster running, mobility, posture and sprint positions.From there, we worked on knee drive, foot position, quick ground contacts and acceleration mechanics, before progressing into plyometrics, resisted sprints and free sprints.Strength work was also included to help Theo produce more force and support better mechanics.Since then:✅ 5m sprint improved from 1.18 secs to 0.98 secs✅ Acceleration improved✅ Sprint technique improved✅ Quicker ground contacts and force production✅ Greater confidence when sprintingFor a young athlete, the first few metres can make a huge difference, whether that's getting to the ball first, creating space or reacting to an opponent.Speed isn't just about running harder. it's a skill that can be coached.

Meet Franks - Youth Speed Training
When Franks started training, the aim was to improve his acceleration, movement quality and agility for sport.We first looked at the foundations behind faster movement - Foot strength, balance, mobility and body position.One area we identified was that Franks wasn't creating as much support through the arches of his feet as we wanted. So we worked on improving foot strength, stability and control, before building this into more dynamic movement.From there, we worked on acceleration mechanics, change of direction, quicker foot contacts and agility, alongside strength and plyometric exercises.The goal was to help Franks move more efficiently and confidently when running, accelerating and changing direction.Since then:✅ Improved acceleration✅ Quicker, more controlled movement✅ Improved agility and change of direction✅ Stronger feet and improved arch control✅ Better balance and stability✅ Improved overall movement mechanics

Common Questions
Who is this for?
Young athletes who want to improve speed, acceleration, agility, movement and confidence for their sport.Does my child need to be particularly fast or athletic already?
No. The sessions are adapted to their current ability and are designed to help them improve from where they are now.What happens during the 4-session trial?
We assess sprint speed and movement, coach acceleration and running technique, work on agility and foot strength, then re-test progress.Is this just for footballers?
No. It can help young athletes involved in football, rugby, athletics and other sports where speed and movement matter.Is the training safe for children?
Yes. Sessions are age-appropriate and focus on good movement, technique and progressive training rather than simply loading children with heavy weights.
