OUR PHILOSOPHY
The RD Athletic Development program is inspired from the idea of children playing in a park, where they have the freedom to explore a wide range of physical movements and express themselves in a fun, challenging, and safe environment. While our programs may appear chaotic, they are deliberately designed to achieve specific physical outcomes and develop functional movement competency. Science suggests that exposing children to a diverse range of physical tasks can lead to significant growth in their athletic ability. Therefore, our program is centred around providing a broad range of physical challenges that promote the development of fundamental movement skills. Ultimately, we aim to create an engaging and enjoyable experience for children that supports their overall physical development and instills a lifelong passion for movement and fitness.

Having known Roy for many years through coaching, it has been a blessing having him involved right through the Sacred Heart College football programme from Years 7-13.
His extensive knowledge on both the game and his S/C has hugely benefited the players on and off the field.
Roy is always able to make things competitive, fun, and exciting for the players which always brings out the best in each individual as well as the collective.
We at SHC look forward to working with Roy for many years to come.

Over the last 18 months Roy has been coaching our 16 year old son who had not shown interest in fitness prior. Roy has made fitness fun and aspirational and our son really looks forward to Roy’s training sessions.
Our second son wanted some help to stay fit during lockdown. He is naturally competitive and has always enjoyed sport. Again, Roy totally motivated him and helped him get to the next level of fitness. He loved the competition and challenges Roy put before him.
Roy is a skilled trainer who can seamlessly adapts his style to suit the person. I thoroughly recommend Roy for his skill in developing the right program for individuals, but also for his ability to connect and motivate.

Roy has a way of explaining things that makes it easy to understand and then execute on the pitch. He creates a kind environment and takes the time to ensure that each player develops their abilities and skillset. Roy's trainings are high intensity, detailed, and great fun!

Charlie LOVES Roy's Performance Coaching! He's doing the Athletic Development gym session for the second time and he can't get enough of it. He'd never been in a gym before Roy introduced him to it. It was a light bulb moment. Now he's always super keen to get there. He's learning so much valuable information about training, strength, balance and coordination. Charlie is now using the tools he's learnt at home too, doing exercises and weights in between his many football trainings. Roy is a great coach! He's liked a lot by the boys. This is a great programme.

Roy is an incredible coach. Jack has attended both his holiday camps and athletic development gym sessions and has found them fun, diverse and challenging and has noticed a great improvement in his strength, endurance and stamina. Roy is very organised, supportive and professional and places a strong focus on player welfare and mental well-being. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise and passion in such a warm and supportive environment and mentoring Jack in becoming a stronger, more resilient and confident sportsman.
