   Rob delivered talks to our S4 pupils to help them prepare for prelims. He focused on the importance of good nutrition, hydration, sleep and exercise as tools to aid the brain and studying. Rob was excellent at engaging the groups of pupils and created a stimulating talk which was extremely helpful in showing pupils how simple steps can enhance their wellbeing and studying. We will be inviting Rob back!

   In a little over a month I've already seen huge improvements in my son! Not only is he growing in confidence and gaining strength but he is enjoying learning about how to fuel his body for performance and recovery whilst taking gentle ownership of his own habits and goals. The coaches have been phenomenal with him each week and the parent support has been an added bonus. Real goals and real support. Not only are we learning from the sessions he attends but from the whole wealth of knowledge available on the app. We highly recommend the athlete academy!

   My son has been attending The Athlete Academy for a few months now. He enjoyed his first few sessions so much he asked to increase the frequency almost immediately. Not only has he noticed improvements in his performance and understanding of training techniques but he has also made new friends and feels supported and encouraged by the coaches. As a parent I have been very impressed with communication and positivity from Rob and the team. The coaches are all excellent role models and are teaching skills and habits for life.

   Having coached at the athlete academy for the past 6 months I can wholeheartedly say that it is a phenomenal program. With every coach coming from a different background it has been amazing to learn new coaching techniques and information about sports that I would have never of known previously. Rob is always considering new ideas on how to improve and run the AA which continues evolving each week. By making these changes it ensures everything runs smoothly and the athletes get the most out of their sessions. I've loved coaching here and look forward to carry on doing so. Well done to Rob and the rest of the team

   I’ve had the opportunity to spend a few days at the Athlete Academy with Rob Anderson, his team and the young athletes who train there. This was probably one of my most memorable and insightful experiences during the three years I spent in the UK as I am an S&C. Rob was friendly, easy to interact with, and very open about sharing the systems his Academy follows. Having the holistic approach of exercise, nutrition and developing good habits at such a young age was amazing to see. With my Interest in youth fitness, spending time with Rob and his Academy inspired me to start something similar in Chennai, India and develop the young athletes in my country!

   To have your kids taught proper gym technique in a safe and supportive environment is such a privilege. All with the added bonus of getting formal positive feedback backed with scientifically advanced data. Good for the kids and good for the parents. Win win.

   Athlete Academy provides a brilliant, friendly, inspiring and educational development programme; cleverly tailored to suit each individual child. My 12yr old son has benefitted hugely from Rob's support and advice, both physically and emotionally. He has been attending weekly sessions for a year now - although he would be there every day if he could! The improvement in his strength and speed, but more importantly in his resilience and confidence, have been wonderful to watch. He now takes a much more holistic view of his sports, understands how what goes into his body affects his output and knows the need for rest and recovery, all thanks to Rob. Highly recommend this service to any sports mad kids like mine and we'll be sticking with the sessions for the long run! Natasha Amos

   My son is not only enhancing his physical well-being but he is gaining a meaningful understanding that well-being is more than exercise. Sleep hygiene, nutrition, self-belief and mindset are all contributing factors in meeting the targets set within his personalised PT programme. In addition, as a parent, I have been able to reach out for guidance on how to support my son at home. I highly recommend Athletic Evolution to parents of children who have an interest in developing their well-being from highly skilled professional coaches.
