Sustainable Athletic Development

Sustainability requires time, knowledge and engagement from all stakeholders involved in the young athlete.


Athletes striving for long-term development in their sport are in need of a safe, secure and patient environment. 


Development is a process on a winding road and all journeys look different, a roadmap is essential for the athlete to stay on track, but at the same time create they own path.

Optimizing

Athletic

Performance

Our primary aim is to explore new and proven strategies to maximize performance, minimize injury risk and build a sustainable sports career.

The secondary aim is to develop customized training programs, analyzing performance data, and implementing cutting-edge techniques to maximize the athletes' potential. 

The RAISE Roadmap

RAISE - quality assurance for athletes and their team.

The RAISE roadmap focuses on analyzing the current athletic status, modifying different parameters,  and optimizing training methods.

The RAISE roadmap is not a static concept, on the contrary, it is a dynamic worksheet that adjusts to the individual conditions and ambitions aiming to reach full potential.

The RAISE roadmap  is a quality framework ensuring that the individual athlete as well as the team benefits from as many parameters as possible.

Roadmap for

Adolescents in Sport & Exercise

The roadmap aiming to create the sustainable athlete involves testing, analysis, long-term planning, and implementation to maximize performance and minimize injury risk.

1

Testing

Physical testing, clinical examination, screening and sport-specific analysis are the main features in step 1.

2

Analysis

Understanding the numbers, identifying risk factors, strength and areas for improvement are key in step 2.

3

Long-term planning

Development plan from a yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly perspective is essential in step 3.

4

Implementation

Staying on the path, trust the process, and work goal-orientated is the foundation to development in step 4.

5

Evaluation Process

Assessing impact, gathering feedback, and refining approaches for continuous improvement is the pillars in step 5.

Sustainable Athletes 

Physiology and Biomechanics

The interplay between physiology and biomechanics is the foundation to support the sustainable athlete.

Mental Health
