Who FAST Performance is for
FAST Performance is designed for committed athletes aged U16 to Open pursuing state, national and international competition.
What the FAST Performance Environment includes
A structured high-performance environment designed to support athlete development, preparation and consistent performance.
Sprint acceleration and max velocity development
FAST Performance sessions focus on developing explosive acceleration and efficient maximum velocity mechanics. Athletes learn how to apply force effectively and maintain speed through structured sprint training.
Strength and power training integration
Sprint performance is supported through targeted strength and power work designed to complement track training. Our approach develops the force production and resilience required for consistent high-level performance.
Competition planning and race modelling
Athletes are guided through structured competition preparation, including race modelling and event planning across the season. This ensures performances build progressively towards key championship competitions.
Athlete performance analysis
Training sessions incorporate ongoing observation and technical feedback to refine sprint mechanics and race execution. This continuous analysis helps athletes improve efficiency, consistency and race performance.
Access to FAST partner services
FAST athletes benefit from connections with trusted partner services supporting recovery, injury management and sports nutrition. These partnerships help athletes maintain healthy, sustainable training environments.
FAST ACT Development Study
Using more than a decade of competition results, we are following performances across consecutive ages and examining the development patterns that emerge. We are interested not simply in who was fastest at a particular age, but what happened next.
